It argues that police's traditional immunity from negligence has been eroded following recent decisions by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.Two decisions, “Osman vs UK” and “Menson vs UK” have had a significant impact upon the liability of the police service with regard to their duties to safeguard life and conduct an efficient investigation. This article focuses on these two important cases and the impact they have had on the developing the law of police liability for negligent investigation.  cBedforddAutumn 2006vVol. 2, issue 2tThe Journal of Homicide and Major Incident Investigationx2370-1600pp. 33-40  aINVESTIGAÇÃO CRIMINAL  aPRÁTICA POLICIAL  aJURISPRUDÊNCIA  aREINO UNIDO  aPALMERbPhilip
