Synopsis

The Blackstone's Police Investigators' Workbook 2011 is the official accompanying study text for the National Investigator's Exam (NIE) which is taken as part of Phase 1 of the Initial Crime Investigators' Development Programme.

Based on the content of the Investigator's Manual, the book has been completely revised for the 2011 syllabus. It contains many practical exercises, case studies, and multiple choice questions to help students prepare for the NIE.

The Workbook takes the trainee investigator through each of the topics relevant to the examination, namely in the areas of Evidence, Property Offences, Assaults, Drugs, Firearms & Gun Crime, and Sexual Offences. The book also contains useful cross references to the Manual in the answers sections, so students can check their understanding of the content.

This Workbook is completely up-to-date for the 2011 syllabus with reference to all recent legislative changes, including the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, the Policing and Crime Act 2009, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Covert Human Intelligence Sources: Matters Subject to Legal Privilege) Order 2009, and the consolidated Criminal Procedure Rules 2010. The 2011 edition also contains a new section on Fraud.
