Reviews
Police Law is used by every Citizens Advice Bureau in England and Wales. It covers a range of problems faced by our clients and is invaluable when Citizens Advice Bureau advisers need to know, for example, the extent of police powers. The book is clearly set out and easy to read.' Citizens Advice Information Department It is a very easy to use comprehensive book. When giving advice to clients it is important for us as advisors to have access to information quickly and that it be clear and concise. This book does the job - what more can I say! Julie Plisner Haines, Citizens Advice Bureau, Essex This publication is an institution. It is very well known and has a fantastic reputation for doing exactly what it says on the tin. DCI Stephen Tunks, Avon & Somerset Police I would recommend this book to Law students and Student police officers to gain an in-depth knowledge of Police Law. Kayleigh Rhodes, BSc Policing Student, Wolverhampton University This books needs to be freely accessible to every operational police officer at the 'coal-face' of policing, as a basic tool in his everyday work. Simon Dell - after 37 years operational policing Police Law is simply a wonderful police law book. It excels in its comprehensiveness, its use of simple language without footnotes; and its style of writing which makes one want to read it from end to end because of its logical, well-ordered presentation, sound research and authorativeness. Not many law books can boast of those qualities. It is simply the best, thanks to Oxford University Press. Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer
