"Wildlife crime investigation in Britain and Ireland." "...a unique book which represents a wide-ranging survey of the scale of wildlife crime in Great Britain and Ireland today - and how the forces of law and order attempt to combat it. With the help of his police colleagues, Alan Stewart, the foremost wildlife detective in these islands, presents fascinating case studies from all corners of Britain and Ireland, and also recounts how the effects of international crime manifests itself on these shores; crimes against wildlife of all kinds, from water voles to elephants, from rare bulbs to Indian tigers. Told with his customary wit and in his own earthy and informative style, this book will appeal across the spectrum of police, prosecutors, the animal cruelty lobby, conservationists and lovers of wildlife and the countryside." "Alan Stewart has been a key figure in the fight against wildlife crime... I can wholeheartedly recommend this book." (BASC Shooting and Conservation Magazine).
