Customer Reviews

Good explanations of topics
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 officers
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.
