Women, Crime and the Courts In Patricia's second book, she turns her attention from the Irish men serving in the Hong Kong Police Force to the lives of the women around them - both the Chinese who were starting to call Hong Kong 'home' and the Westerners. The material available for the pre-1941 period gives few clues - except when things started to go wrong. Through the stories of women's encounters with the forces of law and order we get a little glimpse into how they lived their lives, their cares and anxieties, and the challenges they faced day to day. |

Policing Hong Kong Patricia combines family history with meticulous research to investigate a group of men from a small town in Ireland who worked as policemen in Hong Kong. Her work spans the years from the 1860s till shortly after WW2. You'll read about three areas of Hong Kong's history during that time: the development of the Police force, the Irish community, and life as a working class westerner. |
