Such a court had been debated, but ultimately rejected, by successive governments for over half a century. In each debate, members of the judiciary declared that a court for appeals in criminal cases held the potential of destroying the world-respected English judicial system. The 1907 debates were no less contentious, but the newly elected Liberal government saw social reform, including judicial reform, as their highest priority. After much compromise and some of the most overwrought speeches in the history of Parliament, the Court of Criminal Appeal was created in August 1907 and began hearing cases in May 1908. A Veritable Revolution is a social history of the Court’s first fifty years. There is no doubt, that John Walton and the other founders of the Court of Criminal Appeal intended it to provide protection from the miscarriage of justice for English citizens convicted of criminal offenses.

  • The “Near Miss” of Liam Allan: Critical Problems in Police Disclosure, Investigation Culture, and the Resourcing of Criminal Justice
    The “near miss” of Liam Allan: Critical Problems in Police Disclosure, Investigation Culture, and the Resourcing of Criminal Justice Dr Tom Smith Lecturer in Law, University of the West of England, Bristol Miscarriages of justice have historically acted as catalysts for reform. It seems we only learn to fix the most serious problems – often obvious to those at the coal-face of practice – once the damage is done. Miscarriages include a failure to deliver justice for those victimised by crime, but as egregious is the conviction of the innocent, and the consequent punishment and social stigma attached to them.1 There are many examples, old and new. The secretive exploits of the Court of Star Chamber led to the abolition of investigative torture in the 1640s.2 Later in the same century, the ‘Popish Plot’ treason trials led to the lifting of the ban on defence lawyers.3 The cases of George Edalji and Adolf Beck led to the creation of the Court of Criminal Appeal in 1908.4 In the 1950s and 1960s, several high-profile executions (including Timothy Evans, James Hanratty, Ruth Ellis, and Derek Bentley) generated significant debate about and public opposition to the death penalty – which was abolished for murder in 1965 (and later for the two remaining eligible offences (piracy and treason) by the Human Rights Act 1998 and Crime and Disorder Act 1998).5 In the 1970s, the Maxwell Confait affair and the consequent Fisher Inquiry instigated the creation of the Philips Commission, and eventually the passage of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE)

This was the powerful slogan coined by the late penal reformer Pauline Campbell. It not only captures the driving force behind her campaigning, but is also an idea which resonates with anyone who believes in democracy and fairness – particularly in the current climate of resurging direct action and public protest. Seventy years earlier the same ideal led Violet Van der Elst to conduct a similar campaign of direct action against capital punishment. Both women, divided by decades, demonstrated ceaselessly outside prisons, though this led to criminal proceedings, illness, misery and financial ruin. They remained unalterably committed to their respective causes – for Van der Elst, the abolition of the death penalty; for Campbell, better care of female prisoners.
