Author Description

Product Description Blackstone's Police Q&As 2016 are the essential revision tool for all police officers sitting the NPPF Step Two Legal Examination (formerly OSPRERG Part I). Written in partnership with the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, the only study guides endorsed by the College of Policing, the Q&As' experienced author team follow subjects in the same sequence as the Manuals, providing the most authoritative means of self-testing outside of the promotion examinations. Blackstone's Police Q&A: Crime 2016 contains hundreds of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the Crime Manual. Matching the only format of questions you will see in an NPPF Step Two Legal Examination, each question has a detailed and comprehensive answer that highlights not only the correct response, but also the reasoning behind the incorrect responses, allowing candidates to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in their knowledge. Full cross-references to the relevant Manual paragraphs and Keynotes encourage more effective studying, while a question checklist helps you track your progress. The 2016 editions of this popular series contain important updates, reflecting changes in the Blackstone's Police Manuals. This new edition on Crime includes new questions on the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, the Serious Crime Act 2015, the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, the Criminal Procedure Rules 2015, the Sexual Offences Act 2015, and a revised chapter on Control of Sex Offenders.
