General police duties - Huw Smart

Designed to mirror the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, this Q&A series combines the expertise of the Manuals' creators with that of experienced and highly successful question writers. Now published annually with the Blackstone's Police Manuals, the Q&As are completely up to date with the police promotion examination syllabus. Following the subject areas in the same sequence as the Manuals, and drawing upon the relevant text, this series sets out an extensive range of professionally developed Multiple Choice Questions, designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of all four Police Manuals, and to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in that knowledge. The 2004 editions of this popular series contain substantial updates, reflecting changes to the 2004 version of the Blackstone's Police Manuals, and include questions relating to the Police Reform Act 2002, the Criminal Evidence (Amendment) Act 1997, and the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001.;This new edition focuses on General Police Duties and covers key topics including: human rights; police powers; harassment, hostility and anti-social behaviour; public order and terrorism; firearms and weapons; civil disputes; offences and powers relating to information; discrimination and equality. It has also been extensively rewritten, and includes new questions on important areas of the law.
