"This book will therefore be of very real interest to a wide range of uniformed services, most especially the
police. The book is also very helpfully designed so that it lends itself for use as a practical teaching guide . . . The use of chapter summaries, review questions, suggested further reading, and useful websites are also very helpful in getting to grips with the subject."
