Policing Human Rights is distinctive and innovative as the first significant law in policing work which takes account of the human rights environment. Dr Martin shows how police officers make sense of their human rights obligations and how the policing environment has been radically altered by these normative requirements. His contribution is not just to criminal justice but to public law much more generally. He has the eye and ear of an outstanding qualitative researcher. His combination of legal and sociological contextual skills place Policing Human Rights in a different league from the work of others. It will become a standard reference on law in policing. * Professor David Dixon, University of New South Wales *
