Preliminary Research & Literature 'Review' - "From Dowbiggin to Tegart: Revolutionary Change in the Colonial Police in Palestine during the 1930s" by Gad Kroizer . Notes large scale religious-related riots that took place in Palestine during the 30s - they were unprecedented in scale. (115-6) · RIC model was implemented in Palestine towards the end of British colonial rule. (116) . The Arab Revolt in 1936 (117) was the principle reason for the implementation of Sir Charles Tegart's plan of police fortresses - with wat brewing in Europe all spare troops were needed there. . Two important books on Palestine's colonial police force, one by Martin Kolinsky and the other an essay by Charles Smith. (117) · Article will seek to shed light on difference of proposals from D to T - the former represented the 'civilian' approach whereas the latter represented the 'military' one.

Notes a successful career in Calcutta where he implemented a range of reforms and kept the police force loyal despite many challenges. (124) · Stark differences between the reports submitted by D and T in style, length, and content. (124-5) . T emphasised the important role of British policemen specifically, he thought they should play an active and dominant role in the field. (125) .
