内容説明
This is a clear and concise guide to the law of evidence, which explains the fundamentals of the law and outlines the context in which it operates.It is thoroughly revised and updated in a new larger format to become more user-friendly. It addresses the changes introduced by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 including, in particular, all the key cases on the 'bad character' and hearsay provisions. It contains 'hot topics' detailing the relevance of the law of evidence to a number of controversial and contemporary issues such as misconduct in the jury room. It is designed to enhance learning with summaries and further reading provided for each chapter.From DNA profiling to consideration of the accused's previous conduct, the law of evidence is a fascinating amalgam of logic, common sense, philosophy and tactics. "Evidence" explains the fundamentals and looks at the principles behind it. It is aimed at satisfying the needs of undergraduates, LPC and BVC students.
