Ng, W. and Skinns, L. (2021) A formal interview tool in an informal setting? An exploratory study of the use of body-worn camera at the scene of an alleged crime. Criminal law review (London, England), 2021 (8). pp. 644-661. ISSN 0011-135X
Abstract
Examines evidential issues associated with police use of body-worn video (BWV) cameras at the scene of alleged crimes, and whether their application to conduct voluntary at-scene interviews can undermine procedural safeguards. Reviews the theory, context and practice of such interviews, and the legal framework under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 governing suspects' rights. Sets out recommendations for avoiding miscarriages of justice.
