The Human Rights Act and the Criminal Justice and Regulatory Process

The UK's new Human Rights Act will have a significant effect on many aspects of the criminal and regulatory process. The papers in this volume, arising from the second Cambridge Centre for Public Law conference, consider the Act's impact on investigation and surveillance, on evidence, procedure and the substance law applied at trials and hearings, and at the post-trial stage, e.g. sentencing and post-report action in respect of DTI Inspection. Contributions from many of the country's leading criminal and regulatory lawyers (both academic and practicing) make this volume an important and original source for all criminal lawyers.
