If you're in the business of taking or writing statements, then this is the ideal pocket reference. It is A6 size, so easy to keep in the glovebox or in a drawer. It covers the basics, such as points of law and Turnbull, checking statements and how to work with interpreters, experts and vulnerable witnesses. A good proportion of the book gives example statements for a wide variety of scenarios, with comments on what should be inluded. Highly recommended.

Found this book to be a bit dated, though does have some examples that are handy. WOuld not recommend this as a reference tool in tis current iteration.

Having used the original "Taking Statements" during my Police career and found it very useful was glad to see the new version was just as good, with the Statement examples brought up to date.
This book was brought for my son who is starting his Police career.

Not that useful
Bit like the points to prove book I bought, I've not really found it useful and to write a good statement you just need to know the law and tell a good story. Read more

Very much a dated book......
This book really needs to be up-dated to move along with the times. However there are still a few good pointers in certain areas to guide you.
