Author Description

Designed to mirror the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, this series is written by experienced and highly successful question writers. Each Q&A book contains 100s of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of all four Police Manuals, and to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in that knowledge. Following subjects in the same sequence as the Manuals and drawing upon the relevant text, the Blackstone's Police Q&As are essential revision material for all police officers sitting the Part 1 promotion examinations. This new edition focuses on Evidence and Procedure, and has been updated to include new questions on key areas of law, particularly as a result of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and the Courts Act 2003. Includes: evidence of bad character for both defendants & witnesses, prosecution appeals against acquittals, conditional cautions, role and function of lay justices and justices clerks and the jurisdiction of magistrates' and youth courts.
