Accountability of Policing (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice). Oxon: Routledge. Accountability, Policing and the Police Service of Northern Ireland: Local Practice, Global Standards? John Topping Almost without exception, both the development and operationalization of police accountability in Northern Ireland have gone hand-in-hand with the much lauded and complex reform process set in motion by the far-reaching recommendations of the Independent Commission for Policing in Northern Ireland (ICP, 1999). Beneath the international attention focused upon the polity’s policing affairs over nearly four decades, it may be observed that ‘knowing’ and ‘overseeing’ what the police ‘do’ have become integral to the country’s contemporary policing (and political) landscape. As part of the implicit ICP policy of ‘wrestling’ policing from the state and giving it ‘back to the people’ (Topping, 2008b), creating one of the world’s most accountable police services has become the bedrock of community trust and legitimacy not just in the police, but so too the state – not withstanding the importance of policing to the wider political settlement and stability in the country (O’Rawe, 2003). Thus, on both vertical (structural) and horizontal (socio-political) plains, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has become governed by a host of statutory, governmental and other bodies – generally conceived as the global ‘gold standard’ of police oversight, not limited to operational policing, human rights, public order policing and organisational governance (Ellison, 2007; Office of the Oversight Commissioner, 2007; Topping, 2008a).

It be- gins with a brief review of the historical significance of parades in Ireland before summarizing the background to the current disputes. This Essay considers the causes of the problem, the arguments of the various parties, and the development of legal controls on parades. The Essay then moves on to review the attempts that have been made to resolve the issue. In particular, the Essay focuses on the formal measures that have been taken by the British Government to resolve the disputes rather than the practical measures taken to mediate, negotiate, and police the problems at a local level. Such measures include the consideration given to the problem in the report of the Indepen- dent Review of Parades and Marches, changes that have been made to the legislation governing parading, and the formation of the Parades Commission with powers to issue legal determinations over disputes.

  • A Society in Transition: the Protestant Community in Tyrone 1836-42 Daragh Emmett Curran Thesis for the Degree of Ph.D Departmen
    A SOCIETY IN TRANSITION: THE PROTESTANT COMMUNITY IN TYRONE 1836-42 DARAGH EMMETT CURRAN THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PH.D DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: PROFESSOR RAYMOND GILLESPIE SEPTEMBER, 2010 A society in transition: The Protestant community of County Tyrone 1836-42. Daragh Emmett Curran This thesis deals with the transition that was taking place in Protestant society in the immediate pre-famine period in County Tyrone. It explores how this community, at all social levels, reacted to the changes that were occurring and which were considered detrimental to its position of dominance in society. These changes had the potential to dramatically affect the traditional paternalistic relationship that bound the lower classes to their social betters and this study examines how this relationship survived through economic recession, changes in law and order, increasing concessions being granted to Catholics, lessening government support for the Protestant Church, and the suppression of the dominant Protestant association of the time- the Orange Order. The Order played an integral part in the lives of many Protestants and was an organization that transcended the class divide. Because of this, it becomes the pivot around which this work revolves as the Order, with its wide-stretching network, helped maintain the patriarchal relationship that bound the classes together. It is also a useful tool through which to examine attitudes towards law and order within the Protestant community as changes within this area, especially within the magistracy, affected the upper classes, the very people that the lower classes looked to for guidance.

As an Office we have encountered occasions when it has been very difficult to identify individual police vehicles. The police are now very much committed to policing with the community and co-operated with us in the work now being published. What we have tried to do here is to examine the whole issue of police identification, to gauge public and police views on the matter, and to make sensible suggestions, which are designed to facilitate better officer and equipment identification.

  • Dispute System Design and the Mediation of Contested Parades in Northern Ireland
    Deepening Democracy? Dispute System Design and the Mediation of Contested Parades in Northern Ireland MICHAEL HAMILTON & DOMINIC BRYAN* The design of democratic institutions is a critical factor in determining their capacity to forestall, or limit the escalation of, identity-based conflict. In particular, the incorporation of dispute resolution mechanisms in institutional structures can create new spaces that facilitate dialogue and, potentially, greater recognition between disputants. Institutions, though, do more than merely provide alternative or new fora for dialogue: they can also serve to frame the terms of such interaction and, in so doing, funnel and re-articulate conceptions of justice and the public interest. Furthermore, they can enable the "bottom-up" negotiation of "satisfiers"--those measures capable of meeting or accommodating the multiple interests at stake. In this way, institutional design can bear directly upon the quality of democratic dialogue, serving either to expand or diminish the reserves of political opportunity. We argue that focusing greater attention on the design of dispute resolution mechanisms can help counteract the polarizing tendencies of elite mobilization. As procedural devices of dialogic interaction, such mechanisms can build consensus about the conception of justice underpinning public life, and so provide societies with "morally defensible processes" capable of responding to conflict in politics.' This implies that such mechanisms can constrain political self-interest, cap expectations about what democracy can realistically deliver, and encourage hitherto weak or non-existent consensus. The following section (Part 1) relates dispute system design to theories of democratic dialogue, and in particular, Habermasian theories of communicative action. It develops the concept of "democratic triangulation," which we use to illustrate the important role that alternative dispute * Michael Hamilton is a lecturer at the Transitional Justice Institute, University of Ulster.

  • INTRODUCTION Fenianism Is Not by Any Means a Plant Likely to Take Root
    INTRODUCTION Fenianism is not by any means a plant likely to take root, much less to flourish in Australian soil... Melbourne Age, 14 August 1868 Among the poorer and most ignorant of Irish Romas Catholics in Victoria a feeling of sympathy with the Fenian movement is widespread... Police Superintendent C.H. Nicholson, 9 March 18681 For almost two hundred years British imperial hegemony has been steadily disintegrating in Australia. In the same period a sense of Australian national identity has been emerging: shaped by the land itself, its great distance from the British Isles, and by conflicting cultural pressures in matters racial, religious, socio-economic and political, arising from a mixed population. Prior to the heavy European and Asian immigration after World War II, the three principal cultures in Australia after 1788 were Aboriginal, 2 British and Irish-Catholic; and to this day the Irish are second only to the English component of 140 ethnic groups living in Australia. In the years focussed upon in this study, Irish Catholics comprised at least a quarter of the population of nearly all Australian colonies. Given the circumstances of British rule in Ireland, it was virtually inevitable that this high proportion of Irish convicts and free settlers in Australia would provide a key influence in the emergence of a distinctive Australian ethos, in much the same way that they influenced American nationalism in the United States. But was Irish national sentiment as strong in (1) Report, Fenianism 1868-9, CSO Supplementary Police Box 10, VPRO. (2) Throughout this thesis I arbitarily use British to mean of predominA:tly English, Scottish, Welsh or Ulster-Protestant descent, and Irish to mean, if not otherwise qualified, those who readily identified with Gaelic traditions and considered themselves to be Irish nationalists.
