Police Law - Tapa blanda

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)
