Academic literature in England and Wales and New Zealand does not consider the protection of legal professional privilege where digital material is seized under a search warrant. Academic literature in the United States does engage with this subject but is not informed by a comparative approach. This article fills both gaps. It examines practices that have been developed by investigative teams and prosecuting authorities in all three comparator jurisdictions in their attempts to provide safeguards necessary to preserve privilege. Such practices involve the use of technology to increase the speed, cost effectiveness and/or efficiency of identifying privileged documents. The process of developing these practices has been informed by judicial guidance, where they have been challenged before the courts, and by guidance from government departments, Bar Associations or Law Commissions. Following comparative analysis, the article recommends measures that should be included in legislation, codes of practice or guidance in any jurisdictions where there is potential for legal professional privilege or an equivalent concept to be undermined when digital material is seized under a search warrant.
英格兰、威尔士和新西兰的学术文献没有考虑在根据搜查令扣押数字资料时保护法律职业特权的问题。美国的学术文献确实涉及这一主题,但并未采用比较方法。本文填补了这两个空白。文章研究了所有三个参照辖区的调查小组和检察机关在尝试提供必要保障以维护特权过程中形成的做法。这些做法涉及利用技术提高识别特权文件的速度、成本效益和/或效率。这些做法的发展过程参考了在法庭上受到质疑的司法指导,以及政府部门、律师协会或法律委员会的指导。经过比较分析,本文推荐了在根据搜查令扣押数字资料时有可能破坏法律职业特权或同等概念的任何司法管辖区应纳入立法、实践准则或指南的措施。

The rapid rise in accessibility and portability of cameras has resulted in widespread reliance on the interpretation of images by analysts and investigators in criminal proceedings. Codes of practice, guidance and jurisprudence have evolved to facilitate the admission of opinions as to the identity of offenders (or persons of interest) at trial. In this article, we explain why allowing investigators to give opinions as to identity on the basis of familiarity with images or suspects acquired during the course of an investigation is incompatible with mainstream scientific research and advice, and conducive to error. It rests on the flawed assumption that investigators can reliably identify or recognise persons in images, articulate and document the basis of these ‘identifications’, and avoid the risk of contamination (really cognitive bias) from their knowledge of, or exposure to, domain-irrelevant information. Jurors, who may be invited to conduct their own comparison between an image and the defendant in the dock, are similarly vulnerable to assuming the task is straightforward, as well as many of the contextual and cognitive biases confronting investigators. Using the facts and evidence in R v Yaryare [2020] EWCA Crim 1314 as a case study, we show how case information available to investigators and imaging analysts both inform their interpretations of images and is (re-)presented at trial and on appeal as independent support for their opinions. We identify substantial threats to fairness, proof and rationality and propose that only witnesses with demonstrable expertise should be permitted to testify as to the identity of persons of interest in images.
摄像机的可获取性和便携性迅速提高,导致在刑事诉讼中广泛依赖分析人员和调查人员对图像的解读。实务守则、指南和判例不断发展,为在审判中采纳关于罪犯(或相关人员)身份的意见提供了便利。在本文中,我们将解释为什么允许侦查人员根据对侦查过程中获得的图像或嫌疑人的熟悉程度就其身份发表意见不符合主流科学研究和建议,而且容易导致错误。它所依据的假设是有缺陷的,即调查人员能够可靠地识别或认出图像中的人物,阐明并记录这些 "识别 "的依据,并避免因了解或接触与领域无关的信息而受到污染(真正的认知偏差)的风险。陪审员可能会被邀请对图像和被告席上的被告进行比对,他们同样容易认为这项任务是简单明了的,也容易受到调查人员所面临的许多背景和认知偏见的影响。以 R v Yaryare [2020] EWCA Crim 1314 一案中的事实和证据为案例,我们展示了调查人员和图像分析人员所掌握的案件信息如何为他们解读图像提供依据,以及如何在审判和上诉中(重新)作为独立的证据支持他们的观点。我们确定了对公平、证据和合理性的实质性威胁,并建议只允许具有可证明的专业知识的证人就图像中相关人员的身份作证。

‘An Obligation of Means, Not One of Result’: A Historical Overview and Theoretical Assessment of the Whole Life Order Sentencing Regime in England and Wales 手段义务,而非结果义务":英格兰和威尔士终身监禁判决制度的历史概述和理论评估
Pub Date : 2023-11-26 DOI: 10.1177/00220183231216169

In England and Wales, a ‘whole life order’ (WLO) is a life sentence with no prospect of parole. At present, the WLO sentencing regime provides insufficient clarity about the assessment criteria for the release of prisoners, rendering these sentences unreviewable. Indeed, no WLO prisoner has ever been released. This article submits that it is the means by which the executive and courts preclude scrutiny of the WLO review mechanism, and so devalue the systemic health of our legal order by undermining rule of law principles of accountability and transparency, which form the most disquieting aspects of the regime. I set out my argument in two parts. Part One provides a historical assessment of the development of the WLO sentencing regime and its impact on wider human rights discourse. A critical evaluation of this history reveals that WLOs today are irreducible and underscored by the long-term accumulation of unaccountable executive power. Part Two considers WLOs from the position of the philosopher John Rawls’ theory of ‘political liberalism’ as applied to understandings of European human rights constitutionalism. Adapting Rawls’ emphasis on the importance of reciprocal deliberation between diverse citizens and institutions in maintaining a just and stable society, this article presents the deficiencies of the WLO regime as deriving from an inter-institutional failure to engage in meaningful deliberation about whether the WLO regime complies with the UK's human rights obligations. I propose reforms to the reviewability of WLO sentences to give prisoners the ‘means’ if not necessarily the ‘result’ of release. Rather, there remain outstanding questions about how many of the worst of the worst prisoners possess the capacity for rehabilitation, even if provided with the opportunities to do so. As such, these reforms can be justified, less on grounds of ensuring the actual release of prisoners, but more as part of restoring a broader functional human rights and rule of law framework.
在英格兰和威尔士,"终身监禁令"(WLO)是一种无假释前景的终身监禁判决。目前,终身监禁判决制度对释放囚犯的评估标准不够明确,导致这些判决无法复审。事实上,从未有 WLO 囚犯被释放过。本文认为,正是行政部门和法院排除了对 WLO 复审机制的审查,从而破坏了问责制和透明度的法治原则,从而贬低了我们法律秩序的系统健康性,这才是该制度最令人不安的方面。我分两部分阐述我的论点。第一部分对世界劳组织量刑制度的发展及其对更广泛的人权讨论的影响进行了历史性评估。对这一历史的批判性评估表明,今天的WLO是不可减损的,并且由于不负责任的行政权力的长期积累而更加突出。第二部分从哲学家约翰-罗尔斯(John Rawls)的 "政治自由主义 "理论的立场出发,对WLOs进行了研究,并将其应用于对欧洲人权宪政的理解。罗尔斯强调不同公民和机构之间的互惠商议对于维持一个公正稳定的社会的重要性,本文根据罗尔斯的这一论点,将世界秩序组织制度的缺陷归结为机构间未能就世界秩序组织制度是否符合英国的人权义务进行有意义的商议。我建议改革 WLO 判决的可审查性,为囚犯提供释放的 "手段",但不一定是 "结果"。相反,有多少最恶劣的囚犯即使有机会改过自新,但他们是否有能力改过自新,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。因此,与其说这些改革是为了确保实际释放囚犯,不如说是为了恢复更广泛的人权和法治框架。

‘Out of the Penal System and into the Hospital Regime?’ Judicial Challenges in Sentencing Mentally Disordered Offenders and the Likely Impact of the 2020 Sentencing Council Guideline 走出刑罚系统,进入医院制度?精神失常罪犯量刑中的司法挑战及 2020 年量刑委员会指南的可能影响

Mentally disordered offenders may be vulnerable yet also pose particular risk to the public. Achieving appropriate sentencing poses complex challenges for judges in properly determining culpability and punishment, protecting the public, and meeting any identified treatment needs of the defendant. With respect to all three elements there is likely to be necessary reliance upon psychiatric expertise. Despite much previous statutory guidance, there has not – until very recently – been available specific sentencing guidelines from the Sentencing Council (SC) to assist the judiciary in what is a profoundly difficult exercise. This review describes and considers the guidance available to the judiciary in the Crown Courts of England and Wales regarding the various disposal options – including that which ‘hybridises’ penal and treatment disposal – in addition to facilitating and properly limiting the role of expert evidence. A specific focus is on contextualising, and commenting upon, the SC's recently published Guidance, Sentencing Offenders with Mental Disorders, Developmental Disorders or Neurological Impairments, which seeks to consolidate information, improve knowledge, reduce confusion, and assist the courts towards properly and consistently addressing the relevance of mental disorder to sentencing. In doing so, in the authors’ view, it privileges punishment over public safety, leaving judges to address public safety largely without the benefit of the explicit ‘routes to sentencing’ approach of the Guidance.
精神失常的罪犯可能很脆弱,但也可能对公众构成特殊风险。要实现适当的量刑,对法官来说是一项复杂的挑战,既要适当地确定罪责和惩罚,保护公众,又要满足被告任何已确定的治疗需求。在所有这三个要素方面,都可能需要依赖精神病学的专业知识。尽管以前有很多法定指南,但直到最近,量刑委员会(SC)才提供了具体的量刑指南来协助司法机构完成这项难度极大的工作。除了促进和适当限制专家证据的作用外,本审查报告还描述和考虑了英格兰和威尔士刑事法院司法机构在各种处置方案方面可获得的指导--包括 "混合 "刑罚和治疗处置方案。该指南旨在整合信息、增进知识、减少混淆,并协助法院正确、一致地处理精神障碍与量刑的相关性。作者认为,在这样做的过程中,它将惩罚置于公共安全之上,使得法官在处理公共安全问题时,在很大程度上无法受益于《指南》中明确的 "量刑途径 "方法。

Involuntary Voluntary Action 非自愿的志愿行动
Pub Date : 2023-11-20 DOI: 10.1177/00220183231215996
A. Elkington
Voluntariness is an essential factor in determining if someone should be held legally responsible for his actions. Equally, voluntary actions of the victim in certain situations can break the chain of causation, thus removing criminal liability from the defendant. To create the desired certainty in the law a clear definition of voluntary action is essential, however, this article highlights how such a definition remains elusive. The binding ratio in Kennedy, that a victim's free, informed and deliberate actions can break the chain of causation, has been applied in an inconsistent way in R v Wallace. As a consequence, the law relies on a moralistic judgment in determining whether a defendant should be criminally liable for his actions. Thus, causing complexity and confusion in determining when actions can be deemed voluntary. R v Field has caused further uncertainty by holding that voluntarily choosing to drink whisky can be said to be an involuntary action. It is concluded that R v Field could have instead been viewed more clearly through the lens of omissions. This would have enabled established legal principles to be applied without the resulting challenges that R v Field has caused in determining what is voluntary action.
自愿是确定某人是否应对其行为承担法律责任的一个基本因素。同样,在某些情况下,受害人的自愿行为可以打破因果关系链,从而免除被告的刑事责任。为了使法律具有所需的确定性,必须对自愿行为做出明确的定义,然而,本文强调了这一定义是如何仍然难以确定的。肯尼迪案中的约束性比率,即受害人自由、知情和故意的行为可以打破因果关系链,在 R v Wallace 案中的应用方式并不一致。因此,在确定被告是否应对其行为承担刑事责任时,法律依赖于道德判断。因此,在确定行为何时可被视为自愿方面造成了复杂和混乱。R v Field 一案认为,自愿选择喝威士忌可以说是一种非自愿行为,从而进一步造成了不确定性。结论是,R v Field 一案本可以从不作为的角度来更清晰地看待。这样就可以适用既定的法律原则,而不会出现 R v Field 案在确定什么是自愿行为方面所造成的挑战。

Football Spectatorship: Are the Home Office Statistics a Reliable Indicator for Measuring Football-Related Violence & Disorder? 足球观众:内政部的统计数据是衡量与足球有关的暴力和骚乱的可靠指标吗?
Pub Date : 2023-11-20 DOI: 10.1177/00220183231215995

Despite the best efforts of successive governments and the police, football-related violence and disorder still exist. The extent of the problem is not clear due to the unreliability of the data used to monitor this behaviour. The behaviour of football spectators has received significant attention in areas of psychology, criminology, and law, yet there is no single documented piece of research that measures the reliability of the evidence used to monitor spectator behaviour. This means that data of uncertain provenance is being used to evaluate methods of controlling football spectators and to inform government policy and policing strategies. This article will highlight issues with the reliability of the dataset and caution that such information should not be used without better contextualisation as the basis for policing, prosecution, and legislative strategies. The context of this article does not easily fit into the existing classification of primary or secondary and qualitative or quantitative research. As such, this article provides a novel approach to understanding the Home Office statistics by obtaining the data used to monitor football-related arrests through the use of Freedom of Information requests. In doing so, the article is the first to assess the methodology underpinning the government's data, making a significant and original contribution to the existing literature and policing practices in this area. As a result of this analysis, the article recommends that a standardised system for logging the data is needed to provide more reliable evidence of the scale of football violence and disorder in England and Wales. More comprehensive and reliable data can then counter prevailing media narratives regarding the behaviour of football supporters and provide a solid evidence base for police and governmental action.
尽管历届政府和警方尽了最大努力,但与足球有关的暴力和混乱仍然存在。由于用于监测这种行为的数据不可靠,问题的严重程度尚不清楚。在心理学、犯罪学和法学领域,足球观众的行为受到了极大的关注,但却没有任何一项有据可查的研究可以衡量用于监控观众行为的证据的可靠性。这意味着,来源不明的数据被用于评估控制足球观众的方法,并为政府政策和警务策略提供依据。本文将强调数据集可靠性方面的问题,并提醒在没有更好的背景资料的情况下,不应将此类信息作为警务、起诉和立法策略的依据。本文的研究背景不易与现有的主要研究或次要研究、定性研究或定量研究相提并论。因此,本文提供了一种新颖的方法来理解内政部的统计数据,即通过使用信息自由申请获得用于监控与足球有关的逮捕的数据。在此过程中,本文首次对政府数据的基础方法进行了评估,为该领域的现有文献和警务实践做出了重要的原创性贡献。通过分析,文章建议需要一个标准化的数据记录系统,以便为英格兰和威尔士的足球暴力和混乱规模提供更可靠的证据。更全面、更可靠的数据可以反驳媒体对足球支持者行为的普遍说法,并为警方和政府的行动提供坚实的证据基础。

The behaviour of football spectators has received significant attention in areas of psychology, criminology, and law, yet there is no single documented piece of research that measures the reliability of the evidence used to monitor spectator behaviour. This means that data of uncertain provenance is being used to evaluate methods of controlling football spectators and to inform government policy and policing strategies. This article will highlight issues with the reliability of the dataset and caution that such information should not be used without better contextualisation as the basis for policing, prosecution, and legislative strategies. The context of this article does not easily fit into the existing classification of primary or secondary and qualitative or quantitative research. As such, this article provides a novel approach to understanding the Home Office statistics by obtaining the data used to monitor football-related arrests through the use of Freedom of Information requests. In doing so, the article is the first to assess the methodology underpinning the government's data, making a significant and original contribution to the existing literature and policing practices in this area. As a result of this analysis, the article recommends that a standardised system for logging the data is needed to provide more reliable evidence of the scale of football violence and disorder in England and Wales. More comprehensive and reliable data can then counter prevailing media narratives regarding the behaviour of football supporters and provide a solid evidence base for police and governmental action.","PeriodicalId":501562,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Criminal Law","volume":"22 1-2","pages":"386 - 406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139256665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
