In The Vigilant Eye, Marquis combines the narrative and chronological approach of traditional institutional history with the critical approaches of social history, legal history and criminology.
The book begins with the English and Irish roots of nineteenth-century British North American policing and traces the development of the three models of law enforcement that would shape the future: the local rural constable, the municipal police department and the paramilitary territorial constabulary.
Greg Marquis received a BA (Honours) from St. Francis Xavier University in 1980 and an MA from the University of New Brunswick in 1982. He obtained a PhD from Queen's University in 1987 where his dissertation was on the history of the Toronto police force.
