Recenzii
“A comprehensive and illuminating account of the intermediary’s role founded on the authors’ vast experience and substantial research. . . . Packed with accessible illustrations and practical guidance.”
“A vivid picture of the creativity and professionalism of intermediaries, providing an important record of what has happened, what is happening, and what needs to happen. Compelling reading!”
“A truly outstanding book which sheds light on the momentum that intermediaries give to reforms designed to achieve effective communication in court and draws together all the seismic developments over the last twenty years.”
“Having read this book it is clear it should form an essential part of every criminal practitioner’s reading. It provides a clear and concise account of how to recognize the vulnerable and how they should be supported by intermediaries through the criminal justice system.”
“An essential guide to the most innovative special measure and a road map on how the criminal justice system can and should adapt to the needs of vulnerable witnesses and defendants.”
“This book made me laugh out loud, wince, and take sharp intakes of breath—sometimes at the same moment. It shows that the police service has travelled a long way but still has a lot to learn.”
“For practitioners, judges, and the public, it is an important book to read.”
“Intermediaries in the Criminal Justice System is written in an easily accessible style, split into logical chapters, and thoroughly referenced. There is a subject index and a table of cases, with lists of legislation, rules, and practice directions that will be useful to the legal professional. . . . This book is a superb value for the money, and provides not just a background reference but a source of practical advice alongside legal information. I highly recommend it.”
"Essential reading if you are considering the role or are a criminal justice professional."
“This book is warmly recommended: whether for a lawyer, or a general reader.”
“This book is a must-have for practitioners interested in using intermediaries, including police evidential interviewers. It is also essential reading for academics interested in criminal trial reform.”
