Summary

Blackstone's Police Q&As 2015 are the essential revision tool for all police officers sitting the OSPRERG Part 1 promotion examinations. Written in partnership with the best-selling Blackstone's Police Manuals, the only study guides endorsed by the College of Policing, the Q&As' experienced author team follow subjects in the same sequence as the Manuals, providing the most authoritative means of self-testing outside of the promotion examinations.

Blackstone's Police Q&A: Crime 2015 contains hundreds of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the Crime Manual. Matching the only format of questions you will see in an OSPRERG Part 1 examination, each question has a detailed and comprehensive answer that highlights not only the correct response, but also the reasoning behind the incorrect responses, allowing candidates to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in their knowledge. Full cross-references to the relevant Manual paragraphs and Keynotes encourage more effective studying, while a question checklist helps you track your progress.

The 2015 editions of this popular series contain important updates, reflecting changes in the Blackstone's Police Manuals. This new edition on Crime includes new questions on the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, the Criminal Procedure Rules 2013, and the Crime and Courts Act 2013.

Other titles in the series are: Evidence and Procedure Q&A 2015, Road Policing Q&A 2015, and General Police Duties Q&A 2015.
