'This book is exactly what is says... guides the reader through such questions as "what is possession?", "what is supply?" and "what enforcement powers do the police have?" The book is aimed at police officers, magistrates and other court practitioners and would be a useful addition to the library of all groups of people. It is also designed for use in schools and colleges or higher education and it is a book that could well encourage students to undergo further research in an area of law in which considerable debate continues to flourish, particularly in the area of classification': The Justices' Clerk  Be the first to write a customer review
