Abstract
"Murder, Revolt and State of Siege. Reforming Cluj/Kolozsvár's City Police in 1901. In August of 1901, after the brutal murder of an army officer by two police agents, followed by an uprising in Cluj/Kolozsvár, long serving chief of police Pál Deák was removed from office, and the city’s police institution was reorganized, to the extent of conditioning even the private life of police agents. The study presents a detailed account of the events, contextualizing them inside the dualist-era history of the city’s police, attempting, in the narrative process, to bring its protagonists and their motives as close as possible to the contemporary reader. Keywords: Urban history, Police, Self-government, Institutional reform, Violence. "
