title = "Police culture, Gender and Crime in the Irish Free State.",
abstract = "Sexual crime in the Irish Free State was more than an issue of law, it carried ideological importance in a nation that legitimized itself as a beacon of Celtic Catholicism whilst struggling to maintain credibility in a contested post-colonial landscape. The nation{\textquoteright}s police force, An Garda S{\'i}och{\'a}na, had a central role in preserving the nation{\textquoteright}s reputation for piety. This chapter explores the views of two of An Garda S{\'i}och{\'a}na{\textquoteright}s most senior officers regarding female sexuality and sexual crime; features that were to influence the level of protection and justice Ireland{\textquoteright}s women and children were afforded under law.",
