The importance and impact of human rights and the ECHR are directly addressed in the book. Extracts from the key legislation are included in the appendices and throughout the book, key points, best practice and pre and post incident checklists are included to ensure that the book is as practical as possible. This book is part of the Blackstone's Practical Policing Series. The series consists of practical guides containing clear and detailed explanations of the relevant legislation, accompanied by practical scenarios, illustrative diagrams and useful checklists.
