To attribute the RUC->PSNI change(2001) as the reason for peace is wrong.
That change was on the back of a much larger, much broader set of changes brought in as a result of Good Friday Agreement in 98:

> Issues relating to sovereignty, civil and cultural rights, decommissioning of weapons, demilitarisation, justice and policing were central to the agreement.
