‘Drowning in the deep end’: Factors which alleviate or exacerbate experiences of vicarious trauma in New Zealand Crown prosecutors
This study qualitatively examines factors which exacerbate and alleviate experiences of vicarious trauma (VT) in New Zealand Crown prosecutors. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 New Zealand Crown prosecutors. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Participants perceived personal and work-based protective factors (e.g. safe and supportive work environment, the rewarding nature of the role, engaging in self…
From Emotional Labour to Affectual Bodies: Moving Towards an ‘Affective Ethnography’ of the Criminal Court Space
Participation in, and attendance at, court often positions people amid a charged emotional environment, where the evidence frequently involves distressing accounts and the stakes of decision-making are high. Research has explored the impact of this environment on various court protagonists. What this research has failed to consider in detail, however, are the ways in which such vectors of emotional reaction, containment and contagion interact and…

"I Think She's Learnt Her Lesson": Juror Use of Cultural Misconceptions in Sexual Violence Trials
The extent to which decision-making in sexual violence jury trials is impacted by culturally embedded misconceptions is not well understood. In this article, we provide an insight into the views of 121 real jurors in 18 sexual violence trials, illustrating that rape myth acceptance scales give an incomplete view of when and how jurors might be influenced by cultural misconceptions. Prompted in part by the behaviour and tactics of counsel, jurors …
The Impact of Fact‐Based Instructions on Juror Application of the Law: Results from a Trans‐Tasman Field Study
Objective Over the past five decades, numerous researchers in common‐law jurisdictions have reported that jurors often fail to understand and apply the law presented to them by the trial judge. Several researchers have attempted to improve understanding of the law through revising language and utilizing instructional aides. The present study examines a novel method of instructing the jury, known as the “fact‐based” approach, which embeds legal co…
Reforming the Rules of Evidence in Cases of Sexual Offending: Thoughts from Aotearoa/New Zealand
Due to a number of high-profile cases of historical sexual offending by police officers making the headlines in 2006, reforming trial process and the admissibility rules in such cases is back on the political agenda in New Zealand. Public concern has resulted in the initiation and funding of a number of research projects aimed at reform. As members of one of those project teams, the authors discuss in this article some of the most contested rules…
Evidence, Jury Trials and Witness Protection—The Auld Review of the English Criminal Courts
The publication of Auld LJ's review of the English criminal courts may herald significant reform of the trial process. 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…
