Silence, Confessions and Improperly Obtained Evidence

This important new book examines the whole of the pre-trial phase of criminal investigation including the law relating to confessions, the right to silence, the admissibility of evidence obtained during pre-trial investigation and the highly charged issue of improperly obtained evidence. These are subjects which raise constant difficulties for the system of criminal justice in the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. As a consequence, there is much professional and academic interest in the subject.
