The accessibility of the text, concise overview of legislation and policy, and its application in the real world will not only be interesting to students, but also provide very good examples of reflective writing… The text provides an insight into the work of many others who seemingly have the same goals, but with different ways of achieving them and different regulations governing their methods and understanding of the priorities.

I found the chapter, “how the police investigate crimes against vulnerable adults”, fascinating, useful, and full of good sense. Author: Caring Times
