5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for Police Officers seeking promtion, 17 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Well presented, in order, to the point, it's just what it says it is on the cover. This book is essential reading for Police Officers seeking promotion. Each section of law is broken down and flow charts are included in some more difficult to grasp areas. Each section also mentions whether there is a power of arrest and any possible defences. It contains all the information required to pass a part 1 OSPRE exam including the Police and Crimnial Evidence Act in just 293 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A five star book, 5 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This book is easy to follow,and breaks down all you need to know into bite sized portions.
Like the Blackstones books it deals with all aspects of policing in appropriately headed chapters. Unlike the blackstones its all in one handy, concise publications.
Highlighted are the key words and phrases that might come up in the part one exam.
What I particularly like about this book is the Q&A format and the flow diagrams. This makes it easy to read, revise and have someone test you on.
A great book, and highly recommended. If only I had known about it sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Aid, Easy to follow, 12 Dec 2002
By A Customer
I would recommend this book to anyone studying for the OSPRE exam. It is best to get the most upto date edition (this year's is 50% thicker than last year due to the amount of new legislation) so I have bought the 2003 version. The book is laid out in the 4 subject areas, traffic, crime, evidence and procedure, general police duties and follows a question and answer format.

I have been using Blackstones for my studying but this book complements that by providing a simple, easy to understand interpretation of the basic law required for part 1. The idea is that you learn each section in small bite-size chunks so that you know the content of the pages and a partner or friend can then test your knowledge by reading the questions to you.

The book is aimed at summarising the important information without the complex legal jargon and language of Blackstones, making it a useful study aid. It's easy to follow, using question and answer and diagrams to explain the law in a way that's easy to understand.

My only complaint is that it took so long to get hold of a copy -as it has only just been published 3 months before the exam, but if you are looking for a book which summarises the main topics to learn in easy to understand language then this is the book for you. It's also a convenient size to carry about with you or take away for a weekend if you still want to do some study.
