This book gathers leading experts in the field to analyse these changes, discern any patterns and ask what they mean for the future of Scottish criminal evidence law. The areas affected include: police questioning of suspects; the treatment of vulnerable witnesses in court; hearsay; the admissibility of the accused's previous convictions; the Crown's duty of disclosure; and the need for corroboration. These ad hoc developments are fundamentally altering the basic principles of Scottish criminal evidence which have been in place since the 19th century. This volume explores this rapidly changing field, and considers the likely future direction of criminal evidence law reform.

Combining detailed description of legal rules and institutional structures with policy analysis and socio-legal reflections, it aims to offer an understanding of the distinctive characteristics of the Scottish system and its relation to the criminal justice practice of other jurisdictions. The text concerns itself with practices and outcomes as well as with laws and official policy statements, viewing criminal justice not as a closed, coherent system, but as a chain of loosely coupled agencies whose inter-relations are problematic and whose practices are subject to external demands and political pressures. The book aims to reach beyond the criminal justice state, to discuss the ways in which citizens and private agencies play a part in preventing and controlling crime. It also highlights the variation that characterizes those caught up in the criminal justice process - juveniles, women, racial minorities, victims and the mentally ill - and describes the distinctive treatment they receive. The main aim of the text is to provide a description of the whole range of the criminal justice process in Scotland and to locate Scottish institutions and practices in broader theoretical and political contexts, from a primarily socio-legal perspective.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49619274891537,"sku":"GOR002799677","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1855218992.jpg?v=1750768621"},{"product_id":"criminal-justice-in-scotland-book-peter-duff-9781138612617","title":"Criminal Justice in Scotland","description":"Published in 1999.
