Police misconduct

Practitioners, trainee lawyers and academics who work on claims against the police will find this book a thorough reference. It follows the full course of such a case, starting with what to consider before any action is taken, then moving through the drafting and issue of proceedings, applications for directions from the court, and the exchange of documents, and ending with the trial itself.

Beyond the litigation process, the book addresses several related routes to redress and accountability. These include claims arising from wrongful convictions, the Human Rights Act, inquests, public inquiries, judicial review, criminal injuries compensation, and the handling of property held by the police.

This edition has been expanded and brought up to date to give more detailed coverage of the practice and procedure involved.
