Witness Rights and Protections

The Witnesses Protection Act 1892 and Witness Charter establish comprehensive protection for those testifying in criminal cases. These frameworks ensure witnesses receive appropriate support and information throughout legal proceedings.

Definition: Eyewitnesses provide direct observation evidence, while character witnesses testify about an offender's personality and behavior.

Highlight: Vulnerable and intimidated witnesses may testify via video link or behind screens for protection.

Example: Courts may modify traditional procedures, such as judges removing robes, to make intimidated witnesses more comfortable.

Vocabulary: Intimidated witnesses include victims of sexual offenses, human trafficking, or those testifying in gun/knife crime cases.

Rights of Suspects and Victims

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 establishes comprehensive guidelines for suspect treatment during criminal investigations. Upon arrest, police must inform suspects of their rights and reasons for detention. These rights include access to free legal advice and notification of family members.

Definition: The right to silence allows suspects to refrain from answering police questions during interviews, though this may lead to adverse inferences.

Highlight: Police can hold suspects for up to 24 hours, extending to 36 hours for serious offenses, with potential magistrate approval for an additional 96 hours.

Example: DNA samples and fingerprints can be collected without permission, but blood and urine samples require consent except in drink/driving cases.

The Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 outlines victim rights during investigations. Victims receive written confirmation of their report, including a crime reference number and regular updates on case progression.

Vocabulary: A vulnerable victim is someone under 18, with disabilities, or subject to repeated crimes, entitled to enhanced support services.

Quote: "In cases of sexual assault/rape, it is against the law to publish the victim's name, photo or anything that can identify them."
