This new, comprehensive text examines all the areas of criminal and policing law that Student Officers need to study during their IPLDP. Presented in a user-friendly format, each chapter is linked explicitly to the relevant National Occupational Standards and includes clear aims and objectives, revision notes, knowledge check questions and answers, practical activities, and suggestions for the reader's SOLAP (Student Officer Learning and Assessment Portfolio). As well as being ideal for Student Officers, this book is a valuable resource for PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) with its coverage of the relevant National Occupational Standards for PCSOs.
