Product Description
Review
[Blackstone's Police Manuals] are indispensable reading for all police officers and should be as much a part of the personal accoutrements, as the uniform and warrant card. To promotion candidates, good luck in your studies, but do not forget that you will still have to dip into Blackstone's whatever position you ultimately achieve within a fast growing police service. (Brian Rowland, January 2006 )
Product Description
Blackstone's Police Manuals are the leading police reference texts in the UK. In addition to being the only official study guides for the police promotion examinations in England and Wales, and a recognised text for police probationers, the Manuals have quickly established themselves as the definitive reference source for all who are involved in police law and procedure. Endorsed by the CENTREX for OSPRE® Part 1 Promotion Examinations, the Manuals have been written in consultation with police forces across England and Wales. Blackstone's Police Manual Volume 1: Crime, covers all aspects of criminal law and procedure from a police officer's perspective. The 2006 edition has been extensively revised to incorporate all recent legislative developments and a number of case decisions and changes in policy including the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants etc) Act 2004, Criminal Justice Act 2003, the Children Act 2004, the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, the Gangmasters Licencing Act 2004 and the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000. Topical areas examined in detail also include incomplete offences, criminal intent, drug testing, possession offences, fixed penalties for theft and criminal damage, offences against children and other vulnerable people, sexual offences and racially aggravated offences The Manuals are widely used in the professional development of police officers in a variety of roles, making them essential reading for anyone with an interest in police and criminal law. Whether you are a serving police officer or police trainer, a practitioner, advisor or researcher, Blackstone's Police Manuals 2006 are an essential purchase. The other three titles in this series are: Volume 2: Evidence & Procedure 2006 Volume 3: Road s Policing 2006 and Volume 4: General Police Duties 2006.

As always THE go to reference source for policing and criminal law. Essential read's if you are studying for ospre part 1. For student officers I would suggest the Blackstone's Student Officer handbook. These books are very thorough and my only criticism of them is at times they can be very hard going to read. However, studying these in combination with the online Q&A's, be it Blackstone's or ical you can't go far wrong for the exam.
Personally I feel they could be improved upon with a bigger summary section which includes more case law to round off a particular topic. Something like the main chapter for the full read and the conclusion as a revision crammer. Though crammers can be bought and are generally very good, considering the price/size of the books I feel they could integrate one more. This review although tagged under the 2006 edition is applicable to all so far as I have had the 2006 and 2009 editions. The only real change being updated legislation.
