Description
Scottish Criminal Evidence Law: Current Developments and Future Trends by Peter Duff and Pamela R. Ferguson provides in-depth analysis of recent changes to Scottish criminal evidence law, which are fundamentally altering the basic principles that have been in place since the 19th century. The areas affected include police questioning of suspects, treatment of vulnerable witnesses, hearsay, admissibility of previous convictions, Crown's duty of disclosure, and the need for corroboration. This book brings together leading experts to examine these changes, identify patterns, and consider their implications for the future of Scottish criminal evidence law. By exploring current developments and future trends in this complex area of law, this book offers valuable insights into the ongoing evolution of Scottish criminal evidence law.
