Do you not have money to buy textbooks?

Answer 2

That case brought the whole concept of "reasonableness" into the law. Its basic principles have been extended to a number of areas of the law. When and when not is it reasonable to stop, search and arrest people? I hope these links will help. http://www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199287...

Answer 3

read the case, and pick out how it backs up/criticises policy in the police powers/stop/search/arrest situtation. then discuss how this affects society as a whole - will this reduce crime? how will it change society, is it big brother style? and what are the benefits and drawbacks etc etc
