As a former Police officer withy 31yrs prior experience, I was able to look at this book both objectively and also with an open mind. I found it easy to read, topical, up to date (which is most important) and it contained a positive plethora of important and relevant information which would prove extremely useful to any recruit or applicant as well as a very resourceful study aid for those engaged in Police studies.

A good basic book I will be basing some of the lecture material on for introduction to policing and will be informing BNU library to put it on the course reading list.
