This important new book demonstrates the significant limitations of the prevailing approach to the problems faced by vulnerable witnesses within the adversarial criminal process. Drawing upon modern psychological, socio-linguistic, and victomological study across common law jurisdictions, it provides a systematic critique of the special measures of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.

Louise Ellison is a Lecturer in Law, University of Reading.
`Ellison brings together an impressive body of research findings .... The Adversarial Process and the Vulnerable Witness is a valuable book which takes the debate about the treatment of vulnerable and intimidated witnesses in traditional English criminal proceedings several steps forward ...
Ellison's book offers a timely account of an issue of grave concern to the criminal justice system. Her analysis of the current regime and recent reforms highlights glaringly the shortcomings of a simple 'accommodation' approach to the needs of vulnerable and intimidated witnesses.'
Modern Law Review, January 2003
`The Introduction provides a good general survey of the developments in domestic and international policy that reflect a growing concern for victims and witnesses ... this book provides a clear and comprehensive account of the issues surrounding vulnerable witnesses and the possibility of
accommodating their needs within an adversarial system that places a high premium on procedural protections for defendants ... Ellison has made a valuable contribution to an increasingly topical field of criminal justice policy-making and criminal procedure law.'
