How should judges manage a trial to ensure the effective participation of vulnerable witnesses and defendants? \u003cem\u003eVulnerable People and the Criminal Justice System\u003c\/em\u003e, written by leading experts in the field, gathers together for the first time answers to these questions and many more.
