Defending Suspects at Police Stations: The Practitioners' Guide to Advice and Representation

This third edition of a work on representing clients detained by the police includes updated versions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the PACE Codes of Practice. It has been revised to take account of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996; new Law Society guidance on advising clients; recent "right-to-silence" case law; the Police (Crime) Act 1997; new Duty Solicitor Arrangements; and other legislative and case-law developments. In addition to the changes in content, the text and layout have been revised to incorporate more examples, boxed summaries and "key-point" lists. There is also discussion of practical points, tactical tips and ethical issues, supported by check-lists, sample forms and specimen letters.
