O knihe
Efforts to improve conviction rates in cases involving sexual offences have led to a plethora of changes in the Criminal Justice System in recent years including the use of special measures, pre-recorded cross examination and restrictions on evidence of sexual behaviour by complainants. These restrictions, introduced by s.41 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999, can significantly affect the landscape of a trial. It is vital, therefore, that practitioners understand the law, disclosure implications and procedure behind this complex area of law. This book endeavours to assist those who conduct cases involving sexual offences by exploring the law and procedure of section 41 applications including the interplay with section 100 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 where there have been previous allegations by a complainant. It is designed to provide practical assistance by acting as a nutshell guide to section 41 and provides a practitioner check list for prosecution and defence counsel for cases involving section 41 applications.
