Full Description
Designed to mirror the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, this Q&A series combines the expertise of the Manuals' creators with that of experienced and highly successful question writers. Now published annually with the Blackstone's Police Manuals, the Q&As are completely up to date with the police promotion examination syllabus. Following the subject areas in the same sequence as the Manuals, and drawing upon the relevant text, this series sets out an extensive range of professionally developed Multiple Choice Questions, designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of all four Police Manuals, and to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in that knowledge. The 2004 editions of this popular series contain substantial updates, reflecting changes to the 2004 version of the Blackstone's Police Manuals, and include questions relating to the Police Reform Act 2002, the Criminal Evidence (Amendment) Act 1997, and the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001.
This new edition focuses on Evidence and Procedure and covers key topics including: summonses and warrants; bail; court procedure and witnesses; youth justice and youth crime and disorder; evidence, incorporating exclusion of admissible evidence, and the disclosure of evidence; interviews; and custody officers' duties. It has also been extensively rewritten to include eleven new questions on important areas of the law.
