Police custody acts as an important gateway to the criminal justice
process. Much is at stake here for both staff and suspects as what
happens in police custody can have important consequences further
down the line. This book offers a timely contribution to research
on police custody, which has been largely neglected for the last
decade, and it is the first to examine the growing role given to
civilians employed by the police or by private security companies
within police custody areas. The book draws on a mixed-method study
of two custody areas, one publicly-run, and the other largely
privately-run. This empirical analysis explores anew suspects'
experiences of police custody from arrest to charge, including
their access to due process rights such as phone calls, legal
advice and detention reviews, as well as shedding light on the
hitherto unexplored working relationships between the police,
civilian police staff (public and private), legal advisers,
doctors, appropriate adults and drug workers. These findings on the
police custody process are used to examine pertinent socio-legal
and theoretical matters connected to due process, the role of the
police in policing, as well as procedural justice and legitimacy.
The book integrates issues which are topical and of utmost
empirical, theoretical and political significance, meaning that it
is likely to have a broad appeal to students, academics,
practitioners and policy-makers with an interest in the criminal
justice process, policing and the sociology of law.
