A Dictionary of Law Enforcement is the only dictionary available with
a primary focus on UK law enforcement terms. Succinct and practical in
its approach, it contains over 3,400 entries covering ever aspect of
this diverse field, including terms related to law, pathology, forensic
medicine, accountancy, insurance, shipping, commerce and trade,
criminology, and psychology. Entries are supported by a wealth of
practical information, including (where appropriate) citations and
references to statutes and legislation.
In addition to the definitions, the dictionary also contains five useful
appendices: Abbreviations and Acronyms, Recordable Offences,
Disclosure Code, Disclosure Guidelines and Disclosure Protocol..
Written by two former police officers, both now lecturers in law and
criminal investigation, the dictionary fills a significant gap in the
law market and will be invaluable to police officers and trainee
officers, students and lecturers of criminology, criminal justice, and
police studies, and other professionals needing clear definitions of law
enforcement terms.
