| Abstract: | It has been widely accepted for a long time that the majority of criminal justice systems have not treated crime victims and witnesses fairly. Most common law jurisdictions have passed distinctive procedural and evidence law reforms, particularly with regard to vulnerable witnesses, in an effort to address this issue. This entails removing the witness from the defendant's line of sight, forbidding the defendant from asking the witness questions during his or her deposition, minimising unfair cross-examination, and eliminating testimony about the witness's past sexual activities. These efforts will all require more funding. Only the processes and impartial hearings are essential components of our judicial system. Such components must be accessible to parties who, due to a mental or physical disability/disorder, impairment of intellectual or social functioning, fear or distress, or any combination of these are vulnerable in such a way that their ability to participate in proceedings is jeopardised. More than 20 years ago, worries concerning vulnerable witnesses in criminal trials were a major issue. |
