Description

Relied upon by all 43 Home Office police forces, PNLD is a comprehensive criminal law resource and a critical tool to ensure that anyone with a duty to investigate or prosecute offences can apply the law correctly. As a criminal justice professional, PNLD know how vital it is to apply the law appropriately. Knowing precisely what can be done when pursuing an investigation is equally as important as knowing what you cannot do.
