Criminal Evidence and Procedure, 5th Edition: An Introduction

Whether you are a student of Scots Law coming to criminal evidence and procedure as part of your LLB law degree, or as part of your Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, or a practitioner needing a quick reference guide, this textbook covers all of the essentials.

Alastair N Brown draws on his extensive experience in practice to present a clear and up-to-date overview of the subject, taking into account the new decisions issued by the High Court of Justiciary and Sheriff Appeal Court which have shed light on key aspects of criminal evidence and procedure; the Bail and Release from Custody (Scotland) Act 2023 and the Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill; and reflecting the changes made in relation to what constitutes corroboration by the High Court in Reference by His Majesty's Advocate v CLB 2023 SCCR 340.
