will my first years': Claire Kinsella, Edge Hill University 'Up to
date information on recent changes. Very well written in clear
informative style. Good definitions and Glossary': Ann Kneebone,
Truro and Penwith College 'This is a book, which can be purchased
and read by the man in the street without having concern about
misunderstanding words, expressions, etc. For the more legal minded
it is a superb introduction to any legal aspect before advancing
into a more complicated legal tome. It is book that can be
recommended to anyone requiring clarification on a legal subject in
plain words': Internet Law Book Reviews 'The range of topics is
broad and apt. The language is accessible and the layout clear.
There are short sections on the successive steps involved as an
offence is investigated, a suspect charged, convicted, imprisoned
and released under supervision. The agencies which support and
invigilate the process are introduced and there is a useful
glossary': Independent Monitor Authors Bryan Gibson is a
