Prosecuting Child Sexual Assault Cases: Are vulnerable witness protections enough?

Abstract

The effectiveness of the reforms introduced to protect children when they give evidence in court is analysed, by examining the effectiveness of vulnerable witness protections. The specific obstacles associated with prosecuting child sex offences in an adversarial system are summarised, in order to determine whether or not vulnerable witness protections are sufficient to overcome these obstacles.
