Acknowledgements Without the cooperation of the detectives and police staff who attended the focus groups, or were interviewed, and members of the National Detective Forum this study would not have been possible. I hope they consider their views have been faithfully and comprehensively captured and I apologise to the many whose quotations it was not possible to include. I am indebted to them for attending, particularly those who came in their own time, and for contributing so openly to a discussion which often focused on sensitive issues. Thanks are also owed to the members of the JBBs who set up the groups, to the chief officers in the study forces for allowing us to speak to their detectives and to Emma Bingham and Dai Rowlands who provided the back-up notes for the group sessions. A special debt of gratitude is owed to Dai who has not only provided many useful editing suggestions but encouraged me with his considered comments on the draft chapters. Final thanks are due to Lesley Perry who has cheerfully sorted out various problems encountered in preparing the report for publication. Michael Chatterton January 2008
