PACE: A Practical Guide to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984

PACE: A Practical Guide to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 by Paul Ozin

Providing practical guidance on what remains the single most important statutory basis for police duties and powers in England and Wales - the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 and its Codes of Practice - this is an essential reference source which the busy police officer or legal practitioner cannot afford to be without. The fifth edition includes all amendments to the Codes of Practice since the last edition, as well as the full text of the Act and Codes of Practice. Explanatory chapters have been updated in line with legislative changes, including the wide-ranging effect of the Policing and Crime Act 2017. With the aid of checklists, flow-charts, and illustrative examples, this book gives excellent guidance on how the procedures and requirements of the Act apply to common, everyday scenarios facing police officers, as well as other persons charged with the investigation of offences. The book forms part of the Blackstone's Practical Policing Series. The series, aimed at all operational officers, consists of practical guides containing clear and detailed explanations of the relevant legislation and practice, accompanied by case studies, illustrative diagrams, and useful checklists.

an incredibly useful practical guide for the police market, this Fifth Edition is bound to build upon the Fourth's reputation as a go to guide, not only for police officers and police lawyers, but for any lawyer whose clients (individual or corporate) are the subject of police actionThis edition retains the clarity, concision and practicality of its predecessors and is bolstered by expert legal analysis which definitely strikes the right balance between being informative as opposed to over-academic. References to the relevant case law are kept short and to the point, the authors no doubt tipping their hat to the notion that if you need to rely on case law to advise, there really is no substitute for reading the case itself. * Gerry Boyle QC, ARDL Bulletin *
