  • As Lord Judge notes in the foreword, throughout its time on the statute book, the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, or PACE 1984 as it is commonly known, has been ‘constantly revised’. Thankfully, however, Professor Zander has regularly produced new editions of his highly authoritative work on the Act to keep readers up to date with the many changes which have often occurred since the last volume was published. The need to address such fundamental matters as the complexities of the Act, how its provisions have been interpreted by the courts, as well as the significant increase in the number and size of the Codes of Practice made under the authority of PACE 1984, has inevitably had a profound effect on the size of the book over the years.
