Police Custody in Ireland brings together experts from policing studies, law, criminology, and psychology, to critically examine contemporary police custody in Ireland, what we know about it, how it operates, how it is experienced, and how it might be improved.
This first-of-its-kind collection focuses exclusively on detention in Garda Siochana stations, critically examining it from human rights and best practice perspectives. It examines the physical environment of custody, police interview techniques, existing protections, rights, and entitlements, and experiences of specific communities in custody, such as children, ethnic minorities, non-English speakers, the Minceir/Traveller community, and those with intellectual disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Police Custody in Ireland gives a snapshot of garda custody as it is now and makes important recommendations for necessary future improvements.
An accessible and compelling read, this book will be of interest to those engaged in policing and criminology, as well as related areas of interest such as human rights, youth justice and disability studies.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This edited book provides a welcome addition to the literature on police custody, filling an important research gap, particularly in the context of policing in Ireland. This is a must read for researchers, policy makers and practitioners in the field. It covers a range of topics which shed light on how to bring improvements to the treatment of people in police custody, including those with a variety of specific needs.'
Liz Aston, Professor of Criminology, Edinburgh Napier University and Director of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research
'The focus of this important text is on the keystone issue of the treatment of people in police custody. Pulling together new empirical research on different aspects of police custody, it highlights the significance of this issue, the challenges posed by different dimensions of the police role, and its impact on individuals and groups characterised by vulnerabilities. With contributions marked by empirical rigour, careful analysis and sharp insight, this book is a most welcome addition to the growing literature on policing in Ireland and to wider debates about police power and individuals' rights.'
Aogan Mulcahy, Associate Professor, School of Sociology, University College Dublin'This is an excellent, much-needed collection on an important and under-researched topic: police custody in Ireland. An Garda Siochana has the opportunity in the coming years to transform its use and administration of police custody. This collection is essential reading for anyone involved, concerned or interested in what must be achieved through that process - especially given the attention it pays to so many especially vulnerable groups.'
