Human Rights in Criminal Law
See: https://crimeline.co.uk/human-rights-in-criminal-law/
Ben Douglas-Jones KC leads a team of 49 authors drawn from the legal professions and academia to deliver the definitive text on human rights considerations in the context of criminal cases.
With topics spanning the investigation stage through to trial and sentencing, this text covers issues as diverse as entrapment, interception of communications, victims of crime, bail, delay, the media, freedom of expression and confiscation. No critical issue remains untouched by the authors’ detailed analysis of the current law and legal avenues that remain to be explored.
When the Human Rights Act 1998 was enacted, human rights considerations were considered niche, and many practitioners wondered whether this newfound excitement would amount to more than a mere flash in the pan. Twenty-five years on, we see that human rights, whether expressed in convention law terms or our common law, are now a core part of our jurisprudence. Many will be aware of recent bursts of activity in this area, such as protest law, but the authors demonstrate that human rights considerations feature in almost every aspect of criminal law, practice and procedure.
It isn’t easy to see how practitioners could do their job competently without a detailed understanding of this area of law. It is equally challenging to identify where they would find such knowledge without a practitioner text like this one.
It is a superb text written by a formidable and knowledgeable team. The publishers are kindly offering a 30% discount to practitioners under 3 years PQE, use discount code: BPHRCL30 at the checkout.
