Review(s) from previous edition
"The wealth of Jack English's experience should amply state his suitability to produce a book on police law, a book which I have never been without since it replaced Moriarty, known to generations of police officers. Highly recommended.
- Rob Jerrard, LLB LLM (London), Book Reviews Editor to Police Journal
"As a Stage 2 probationer I have found this book really useful already. As you would expect there are full details of the various legislation that interests the beat officer, but this is accompanied by comprehensive discussion on the application of the laws and their contexts.
" - Stephen D. Brown, Leicestershire Police
"Police Law is used by every Citizens Advice Bureau in England and Wales. It covers a range of problems faced by our clients and is invaluable when Citizens Advice Bureau advisers need to know, for example, the extent of police powers. The book is clearly set out and easy to read." - Citizens Advice Information Department
