The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) was an innovative
and controversial attempt to regulate the investigation of crime.
Two decades on, it now operates in a very different context than in
the mid-1980s. Whilst legal advice has become established as a
basic right of those arrested and detained by the police, the
police service has become increasingly professionalised but also
increasingly driven by government objectives and targets. The Crown
Prosecution Service, originally established to separate prosecution
from investigation, is now becoming involved in the investigative
process with the power to make charge decisions. Although the basic
structure of PACE has survived, almost continual revision and
amendment has resulted in a markedly different creature than that
which was originally enacted. In 2007 the government embarked on a
further review of PACE, promising to 're-focus the investigation
and evidence gathering processes [to deliver] 21st century policing
powers to meet the demands of 21st century crime'. This collection
brings together some of the leading academic experts, police
officers and defence lawyers who have a wealth of experience of
researching and working with the PACE provisions. They examine the
critical questions and issues surrounding PACE, providing unique
and exciting insights into the demands and challenges of the
regulation of policing. Contributors David Dixon, Professor of Law,
