N2  - Traces the changes in policing, and in New Zealand society, from the 1918 influenza epidemic to the end of the Second World War. Economic depressions and civil unrest punctuated this period and the police themselves experienced staff shortages and problems of morale. This book discusses important developments in police practice: the appointment of women police, the introduction of a 48-hour week, the organisation of an association for officers, and the assumption of responsibility for political surveillance
