'…in what can only be described as the intellectual Fifty Shades of Grey, [Policing Sex] stares the policing prude firmly in the eye and offers a no-holds-barred exploration into the policing of consensual sexual activity.
…the authors […] draw upon a wide range of authoritative sources, policy direction, legislation and empiricism to collectively bring together a set of critically robust chapters that should be commended for igniting debates on hitherto neglected areas of policing studies …
Policing Sex is a book that I would recommend to academics, students and senior police practitioners alike. It strikes a sound balance between theory, policy and practice and successfully illustrates the intellectual and operational complexities and realities faced by those who are concerned with this area of policing that are often overlooked.'
