Bloomsbury Professional Richardson and Clark: Sexual Offences a Practitioner's Guide (Criminal Practice Series)

Richardson and Clark: Sexual Offences A Practitioner's Guide is aimed at the busy criminal practitioner and provides easily accessible reference material and practical advice. The law surrounding sexual offences is complex with many facets that are difficult to grasp when a quick response is often required, particularly at the early stages of arrest and police questioning. There are also numerous considerations throughout the trial process itself. The key focus of Richardson and Clark: Sexual Offences A Practitioner's Guide is to provide a combination of 'at a glance' information in the form of flowcharts and checklists for immediate solutions, practical guidance and insight on preparing and conducting a case for trial. It includes reference material in tabular form so practitioners can quickly and easily find the information they require. The book alerts the reader to issues which might arise when conducting a particular element of the process and advises them on the choices they have and the ramifications of such choices.
