Details

The authors' authoritative guidance is unrivalled. Comprehensive yet highly accessible and practical, Defending Suspects at Police Stations provides the answers to every day practical questions and problems. Initial chapters explain the basic principles of defending clients at the investigative stage and examine the key provisions of PACE and the Codes of Practice. Subsequent chapters tackle the various stages of advising a client including taking instructions, advising on 'silence', interview strategies, samples and searches, identification procedures and the charge decision. The book also includes dedicated chapters on advising and assisting vulnerable clients, on enforcement of the PACE and Code provisions, and on advising immigration detainees.

The ninth edition is fully updated to include all key developments since the last edition in 2020, plus the latest codes, regulations and guidance issued by the Home Office, the College of Policing and the CPS and the latest case-law.
