Opis

This important new book demonstrates the significant limitations of the prevailing approach to the problems faced by vulnerable witnesses within the adversarial criminal process. Drawing upon modern psychological, socio-linguistic, and victomological study across common law jurisdictions, it provides a systematic critique of the special measures of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.

Recenzje

Ellison brings together an impressive body of research findings .... The Adversarial Process and the Vulnerable Witness is a valuable book which takes the debate about the treatment of vulnerable and intimidated witnesses in traditional English criminal proceedings several steps forward ... the book clearly points criminal justice scholars in the right direction when seeking alternative approaches to the difficulties faced by vulnerable and intimidated witnesses.
