Product Description

A well-respected and highly-regarded book, Butterworths Police Law has been prepared in a way that recognises not only the needs of police officers, but also of those who wish to study the criminal law, and of members of the public who wish to refer to a legal text which is written in terms which they can understand. The text remains faithful throughout to its title and sets out to cover comprehensively those areas of law and legal procedures with which all police officers are concerned. The syllabus of the qualifying examinations for promotion has been borne in mind throughout preparation of the text and the availability of this book is invaluable to those who enter for either of those qualifying examinations. The new edition has been bought up to date with developments in the law since the publication of the sixth edition in 1999.

Customer Reviews

Good explanations of topics5
Currently a stage 2 probationer I have found this book really useful already. As you would expect there are full details of the various legislation that intrests the beat officer, but this accompanied with comprehensive discussion on the application of the laws and their contexts.

Also useful are references to stated cases to give guidance as to the way that courts have gone on previous cases.

Very useful.

An excellent works for operational Police officers4
This volume contains the accurate information required for study or to base operational policing decisions upon. It makes much lighter reading that the traditional Stones volumes and includes examples.
