Burdens and Standards of Proof in Criminal Cases

Title: Burdens and Standards of Proof in Criminal Cases Author/s: Janet November ISBN: 9780408715928 Price: $79.02 excl. GST and Freight & Handling

Brief Synopsis: A person accused of an offence is presumed innocent until proved guilty. A corollary of this principle should be that it is the task of the prosecution to prove the defendant's guilt. Valuable for practitioners and students of law alike, Burdens and Standards of Proof in Criminal Cases examines this well-known "golden thread of English law". Janet November considers the various exceptions to the prosecution's burden of proof, with examples, so that readers can work out on whom the burden lies in different situations.
This book separates criminal from civil discourse on burdens of proof, and analyses the justifications and reasons for burden allocation in criminal cases being fundamentally different from burden allocation in civil cases.
Last but not least, the book asks whether, and to what extent, the law presently violates the presumption of innocence, and whether exceptions to the prosecution's duty to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt are justified.
