Blackstone’s Police Q&A Volume 1: Crime 2026

Blackstone’s Police Q&As 2026 are the essential revision tool for all police officers sitting the NPPF Step Two Legal Examination. They are created to follow Blackstone’s Police Manuals, the only study guides endorsed by the College of Policing, providing the most authoritative means of self-testing outside of the promotion examinations.

Blackstone’s Police Q&A Volume 1: Crime 2026 contains hundreds of multiple-choice questions designed to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the Crime Manual. Each question, presented in the ’Type A’ format, has a detailed and comprehensive answer that highlights not only the correct response, but also the reasoning so that you understand the law and how it should be applied in practice and, as importantly, why the incorrect responses are wrong. This is essential for building your understanding of the syllabus and how it will be examined and also allows candidates to highlight any gaps or weaknesses in their knowledge. Each Q&A includes full cross-references to the relevant Manual paragraphs, while a question checklist helps you track your progress.

The 2026 editions of this popular series contain important updates, reflecting changes to the 2026 versions of the Blackstone’s Police Manuals and the NPPF Syllabus 2026. This edition of Crime includes new questions from across the 2026 syllabus, in line with legislative and case law updates. Other titles in the series include Evidence and Procedure Q&A 2026 and General Police Duties Q&A 2026.
