Format:Paperback
Dick Kirby's utterly convincing account of full-on policing, as seen from the inside by one of its most effective practitioners, reads like a thriller; and is fully worth the cover price for the hilarious tale of "Old Bluey" alone ("the most horrible person I'd ever had dealings with"). The attitudes, techniques and procedures described might not stand up in today's courts of law, but they were effective, and administered with humanity. Let us hope that there are still crime fighters with Kirby's determination and integrity. "Rough Justice" is a great read.

If you've read Dick Kirby's other book,'You're Nicked' then you will love this.Its basically more of the same but concentrating on his time in CID and Flying Squad and times that don't exist anymore,think 'Life on Mars' and you get the idea!!

" They say that everyone has a book inside them - thankfully Kirby has spewed out two
lets hope he keeps going.
Written in Dick's unique style of humour and informative mutterings
Dick tells it as it is - in an entertaining fashion - which should have practical policemen everywhere whooping in the aisle's.
A really great book - I thoroughly enjoyed it ".
