Explaining defendants' rights in statute and codes of practice, this book also sets out the action the lawyer at the police station needs to take at each stage to protect these rights and ensure fair treatment. Legal-aid implications are discussed in detail, and the book takes account of research findings on the various aspects of police-station advice. The author, an experienced criminal lawyer, is consultant to a firm of legal-aid solicitors, and a police-station duty solicitor.
