The fifth edition of this popular Blackstone's Guide provides a clear and accessible exploration of POCA. The book has been completely updated to include all developments, and amendments since it come into force. It includes the full updated text of POCA 2002, plus other essential materials.

The Blackstone's Guide series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. First published soon after enactment, they offer expert commentary by leading names on the scope, extent and effects of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. They povide a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.

Review from previous edition [I]deal for the 'embattled practictioner'...[and] also a clear, concise introduction to those who are new to this area of law, as well as those who...must 'confront the Act head on in their daily professional lives'. Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers This is a welcome addition to publications on criminal procedure, continuing the helpful analysis provided in the three previous editions.
