One of the main tasks of the police is to bring criminal suspects to justice so that they may be subjected to a criminal trial. Police action may influence in various ways the fairness of criminal proceedings. This chapter outlines those aspects of the guarantees laid down in the European Convention on Human Rights that have an impact upon the discharge of policing, with a focus on the requirements of fair criminal investigations and trials.
