Synopsis
The 2002 Evidence and Procedure Manual has been revised to take account of the far-reaching effects of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the relevant case law. It provides an authoritative reference source explaining the implications of the Human Rights legislation and the growing body of domestic case law on the critical areas of gathering and presentation of evidence, and the detention and treatment of suspects. The Manual also addresses the effects of new legislation such as: the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000; the Terrorism Act 2000; the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001; along with changes to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the Codes of Practice. All chapters have been updated to include recent case law and commentary on many key areas including: identification, cautioning, interviews, reviews, seizing of property and drug testing of prisoners. The 2002 Evidence and Procedure Manual is essential reading for all probationer constables, promotion examination candidates, operational officers and Criminal Justice Administration Units. It will also be of considerable interest to duty solicitors, investigators and all who work within the criminal justice sector.
