Evidence

Practical Guide to Evidence provides a clear and readable account of the law of evidence. In this revised and updated edition, particular attention is given to changes made by the revised Codes of Practice, and to the growing body of case law on topics such as reverse burden of proof, the cross-examination of rape victims, evidence obtained by entrapment, and silence in the face of police questioning.

The author discusses the radical changes brought about by the Criminal Justice Act 2003, particularly in relation to hearsay and character evidence.
