Blackstone's Police Q&As 2013 are essential revision tools for all police officers sitting the OSPRE Part 1 promotion examinations. Written in partnership with the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, the only study guides endorsed by the National Policing Improvement Agency, the Q&As' experienced author team follow subjects in the same sequence as the Manuals, providing the most authoritative means of self-testing outside of the Promotion Examinations.

Blackstone's Police Q&A: Crime 2013 contains hundreds of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the Crime Manual. Matching the format of the promotion examinations, each Question has a detailed and comprehensive Answer that highlights not only the correct response, but also the reasoning behind the incorrect responses, allowing candidates to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in their knowledge. Full cross-references to the relevant Manual paragraphs and Keynotes support more effective studying and a question checklist helps candidates track their progress.

The 2013 editions of this popular series contain important updates, reflecting changes to the 2013 versions of the Blackstone's Police Manuals. This new edition on Crime includes new questions on the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, the Policing and Crime Act 2009, and the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.

Other titles in the series are: Evidence and Procedure Q&A 2013, Road Policing Q&A 2013, and General Police Duties Q&A 2013.
