CiNii 図書 - Human rights, serious crime and criminal procedure

Based on the 53rd series of Hamlyn Lectures presented by Professor Andrew Ashworth, this book explores the justification for honouring human rights in the context of criminal procedure, and subsequently examines the way in which both the Strasbourg Court and the British Courts have dealt with the problem of whether to uphold human rights when faced with pressing arguments of public interest. The British government's approach to this conflict is also considered. The book focuses upon some of the key debates in contemporary law and politics, including: * Are human rights just rhetorical aspirations? * Are we developing a "human rights culture" in this country? * Should procedural rights give way in the face of "public safety" arguments?

Contents include: I Why Bother With Rights When Public Safety is at Risk?: introduction
the value of accuracy
process values and legitimacy
exploring procedural fairness
conflicting goals, conflicting pressures. II The Strasbourg Court and the British Response to Strasbourg: the early years
public safety and Article 6
British courts and the public interest
the strength of "public interest"arguments
human rights and the critics. III Taking a Balanced View of the "Public Interest": greater safeguards for serious crime
developing a human rights culture

rights and risk
avoiding human rights
war, fights and the relegation of human rights.
