POLICE POWERS AND THE CITIZEN
refdoc July=1991

JOURNAL ARTICLE , User Ref = 003393
J Baldwin , R Leng , University of Birmingham
Howard J Criminal Justice, Jun 1984 23(2) pp88-98

Examines the changes in police powers contained in the revised
Police and Criminal Evidence Bill, and compares them with
the rights afforded to citizens. Argues that the requirement
to record the reasons for the use of coercive police powers
is an insufficient safeguard because it relies on the
quality of supervision by senior officers and the courts.
