Biography

Leonard Jason-Lloyd is visiting lecturer in Criminal Justice at the Midlands Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice at Loughborough University.

'The author is able to succinctly identify the main points in relation to each area and uses selected case law and statutory provisions to great effect.'  - New Law Journal

 

'I greatly enjoyed this book and at the end was genuinely surprised as a criminal lawyer at just how much I did not know about this central component of the criminal justice system. Both students and practioners will find much interest within the 260 pages of text and I highly recommend its purchase.'
