RT Book T1 Vulnerability, the accused, and the criminal justice system: multi-jurisdictional perspectives T2 Routledge contemporary issues in criminal justice and procedure A2 Dehaghani, Roxanna A2 Fairclough, Samantha A2 Mergaerts, Lore LA English PP London New York PB Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1847118607 AB "This book is concerned with the vulnerability of suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings and the extent to which the vulnerable accused can effectively participate in the criminal process. Commencing with an exploration of how vulnerability is defined and identified, the collection examines and analyses how vulnerability manifests and is addressed at the police station and in court, addressing both child and adult accused persons. Leading and emerging scholars, along with practitioners with experience working in the field, explore and unpack the human rights and procedural implications of suspect and defendant vulnerability and examine how their needs are supported or disregarded. Drawing upon different disciplinary approaches and a range - doctrinal, theoretical, and empirical - of analyses, this book offers unique insights into the vulnerability and treatment of the criminal accused. In bringing together a diverse range of perspectives, the book offers key insights into the recognition of and responses to vulnerability among suspect and defendant populations in criminal justice systems across European jurisdictions. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers interested in how vulnerable suspects and defendants are protected throughout the criminal process, and those working in the areas of Law, Criminology, Sociology, Human Rights, and Psychology"-- NO Literaturangaben und ein Sachregister CN KJC7967 SN 978-1-032-07056-8 SN 978-1-032-07061-2 K1 Criminal justice, Administration of : Europe K1 Special needs offenders : Legal status, laws, etc : Europe K1 Juvenile delinquents : Europe K1 Aufsatzsammlung K1 Europa : Strafjustiz : Jugendlicher Täter
