During the 1920s and 1930s the metropolis of Shanghai was policed by four separate agencies: the International Settlement's Shanghai Municipal Police, Frenchtown's Concession Police, the Nationalist Garrison Command's Military Police, and the Chinese Special Municipality's Public Safety Bureau. The author examines co-operation and competition among these agencies and Shanghai's systems of law enforcement until 1949. (DÜI-Sen)
