The social world of a Crown Court is differentiated into groups segregated practically, symbolically, and physically, Prosecution witnesses, in particular, are kept apart from professional ‘court users’. They are expected to behave in ways that present problems of control, and the special architecture and organization of the Court are a response. Their segregation may explain some of the pariah status of victims at large
