Inhaltsangabe

Times Literary Supplement, 11/7/97 - reviewed by David Ramsbotham "Roy
Ingleton demonstrates that there is no evidence to show that unarmed police
suffer more casualties than armed, when going about their normal duties.
The question will always be under review, and he is to be thanked for the
assistance that his book provides to those responsible for deciding the
answer." International Journal of Police Science and Management, Vol 2, No
3, Dec 99 "The issue of whether routinely to arm the British police has
been debated for over 100 years ... Roy Ingleton"s book provides a
dispassionate examination of the issues surrounding this issue."
Contemporary Review, 1/10/97 "His style is clear and easy to read. By the
end of the first chapter you have learned some interesting facts that make
you want to read on ... The conclusion of the book I found just as
fascinating as the rest of it. I am glad he wrote it. Many things are now
clearer in my mind.
