Short description:

The Protest Handbook is the only title available to present protesters' rights and the full scope and limit of police powers in one easily accessible source.

Long description:

"It is a pleasure to welcome a book such as this; one that compendiously sets out the law relevant to protest. It will no doubt become a standard resource for campaigners and their advisers."
Shami Chakrabarti and James Welch, Liberty (the National Council for Civil Liberties) (from the Foreword)

The only handbook available that exclusively covers both the criminal and civil aspects of this area of protest law.

Guiding practitioners through the process from beginning to end, The Protest Handbook is presented in five clear chapters that relate to each stage of a potential case. The chapters include practical assistance in line with protesters' experience of attending demonstrations, the chronological structure of a case, relevant areas of substantive law in sections that cover groups of similar offences, the topical issue of the law relating to occupations and remedies available where protesters' rights have been infringed.
