Blackstone's Custody Officer's Manual Book
Designed to provide a practical companion for trainee and established custody officers, the Custody Officers' Manual contains all relevant legislation together with interpretations of the areas of Codes of Practice that are most commonly misunderstood. It offers a comprehensive treatment of all the elements of the custody officer's role, highlighting common problem areas and offering practical guidance. Professionals involved in the criminal justice system will be acutely aware of the ever-changing legislation that governs the reception, treatment and welfare of people detained at police stations. From the introduction of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, through to the Human Rights Act 1998 and more recently, the Police Reform Act 2002 and the Criminal Justice Act 2003, new Acts of Parliament have been introduced to reach a balance between protecting the rights of individuals, protecting the public from serious harm and professionalising the police service. As a reuslt, increasing pressure is placed on custody officers, police inspectors and superintendents to reach appropriate decisions in relation to detainee. Practitioners face the threat of personal litigation and their decision-making is tested regularly in both the criminal and civil courts. This book provides advice relating to all aspects of the detainees at police stations, and interprets the significant changes made recently to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the accompanying Codes of Practice. It should be seen as an essential reference material for future and existing custody officers, inspectors, and superintendents. The book will also be useful to training providers and to the private industry entering the criminal justice system in this area.Read More
