Evaluating Scientific Evidence
DNA and the Criminal Justice System
Myths, Relationships and Coincidences
This article reviews recent developments in the law governing the admissibility of sexual history evidence in England and Wales. After the decision of the House of Lords in R v A (No. 2), the law reflects a consensus that the complainant's sexual history with third parties is generally irrelevant to the issue of consent in rape trials. In the first part of this article, the justifications for this conclusion are questioned; it is suggested that t…

It is argued that recommendations to retain the jury whilst subjecting its decision-making to greater judicial control, and restricting proper research into its operation, lack a coherent foundation and may prove problematic in practice. The recommendations may enhance protection for vulnerable witnesses although proposals to inc…

This article assesses the proposals made by the Law Commission for England and Wales in its recent report on bad character evidence. Rather than looking at the technical details of the Commission's proposed admissibility scheme, it concentrates on the foundational principles behind it. The Commission does not propose wholescale reform of this area of the law. It recommends retaining the general rule that evidence of a defendant's bad character is…
