Includes bibliographical references and index.

Nature of the interaction between police and individuals -- Powers of detention -- Arrest and compelling appearance -- The impact of the Charter -- Reasonable belief -- Reasonable suspision.

Focuses on "street-level" encounters: detentions and arrests that occur in the course of investigating crime and laying charges. The authors explore the initial interaction between agents of the state or others authorized to detain and arrest, and the private citizens whose liberty is interfered with. It is at that point that the balance between societal safety and individual liberty is most keenly in play. This second edition has been updated to incorporate significant changes which have taken place with regard to statutory powers (the new citizen's arrest power and others), to common law powers (powers of detention, safety searches, search incident to arrest, etc.) and to Charter rights (freedom from arbitrary detention, right to counsel, and so on).

Luther, Glen Edward, 1958-
