E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2, 2017 Accepted: April 19, 2017 Online Published: April 27, 2017 doi:10.5539/par.v6n1p53 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v6n1p53 1. INTRODUCTION English criminal - and criminal procedure - legislation is in a parlous state. Presently, there are some 286 Acts covering criminal law and criminal procedure with the former comprising c.155 Acts. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Judge CJ, in his book, The Safest Shield (2015), described the current volume of criminal legislation as 'suffocating'. 1 If one considers all legislation extant from 1267 - 1925 (see Appendix A) a considerable quantity comprises criminal law and criminal procedure - most of which is (likely) obsolete.2 Given this, the purpose of this article is to look at criminal legislation in the period 1267-1970 as well as criminal procedure legislation in the period 1267-1925. Its conclusions are simple: (a) the Law Commission should review all criminal legislation pre-1890 as well as a few pieces thereafter (see Appendix B). It should also review (likely) obsolete common law crimes (see Appendix C); (b) at the same time, the Ministry of Justice (or Home Office) should consolidate all criminal legislation post-1890 into 4 Crime Acts.3 These should deal with: (a) Sex crimes; (b) Public order crimes; (c) Crimes against the person; (d) Property and financial crimes (see 7).

I am indebted to everyone for their contributions. It never failed to surprise me how willing people were to share their time and knowledge. I am also indebted to my Director of Studies, Dr Alan Sandry, and to my other supervisors, Dr Vitti Allender and Dr Ruth Fairchild, for their enthusiasm, guidance and wise counsel throughout. They have been immensely supportive. I must also acknowledge Dr Sandry’s excellent overall supervision of the project. Thanks also to work colleagues who have been unfailingly supportive in helping me manage my PhD effort while balancing that with ‘day job’ commitments. I am particularly grateful to Dr Lalage Sanders who, as Graduate Studies Coordinator, was extremely helpful in getting things started. Finally, and in no way least, I extend my gratitude to my wife, Christine, and children, Jonathan, Rebeca and Steffan, for their on-going support (and good-humoured tolerance) throughout my period of study. This has been greatly appreciated. Without it, I am not sure I would have completed this thesis. ii Abstract This thesis investigates and critically evaluates Trading Standards (TS) delivery in Wales. TS enforces law to promote fair trading.

I would like to thank the British Transport Police and Metropolitan Police Service for the access they granted me, both to police officers and data. I would also like to thank Lord Carlile and Mike Franklin of the IPCC for their informative discussion during the interviews. Unfortunately the requirements of anonymity mean that I cannot thank each interviewee individually. I wish to express my deep and sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof Clive Walker. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the law, criticism, guidance and support were invaluable and continue to strongly influence my work and research interests. His suggestion of good punk radio stations helped provide a working soundtrack to many of these chapters. I am deeply grateful to my supervisor Mr Nick Taylor for his detailed and constructive comments and his support throughout this work. I wish to sincerely thank Brian Lennon and Daniel Carr for kindly agreeing to proof-read this thesis.
