At a time when a 'moral panic' about crime is being deliberately fuelled by government, when the suspect's traditional right to remain silent without penalty is perfunctorily scheduled for abolition, and when 'cost effective' crime control is high on the Home Office agenda, it is already becoming difficult to recall the very different atmosphere of concern which led to the setting up of the Royal Commmission on Criminal Justice in 1991. The concern then, it is important to remind ourselves, was for the legitimacy of the whole police and criminal justice system. The fall-out from miscarriages of justice had become so great that there was widespread talk of the need for radical reforms such as moving from an adversarial to an inquisitorial system of justice, or introducing strict new rules of exclusion and/or corroboration of evidence
