The Blackstone's Practical Policing Series covers a range of topical subjects of vital importance in today's policing arena. Each practical guide contains clear and detailed explanations of the relevant legislation, accompanied by practical scenarios, illustrative diagrams and useful checklists. Packed with a wealth of information, the Blackstone's Practical Policing Series ensures you have ready access to the tools you need to take on any policing challenge. This book is the first focused practical guide to the law, practice and procedure of homicide investigation. Professional and informative, it details all aspects of homicide investigation from crime scene to trial and punishment and includes material on investigative theory and good practice. The need to consolidate knowledge and understanding in this critical area of policing cannot be understated - it has been recognised by central government and the investigation of murder has been the subject of a thematic inspection by HMI Inspector of Constabulary. A number of recent high profile murder investigations (such as the Taylor and Soham cases) and associated investigative procedure errors have brought the subject to the attention of the media. Designed to build on the police officer's knowledge, the book is based on practical case studies and takes into account legal procedure and investigative strategy. It discusses matters such as evidence admissibility and exclusion, the prevention of murder, forensic science and investigative psychology. Presented in a readable and concise format, with diagrams, illustrations and check lists - this is a key reference text for this important area of policing and is suitable for a wide audience of police professionals, investigators, students, lawyers and non-police investigative agencies.
