| dc.description.notes | Discusses the recent High Court decisions of two cases: Osland, in which the admissibility of expert evidence on battered woman syndrome (BWS) to assist in a defence of provocation was considered; and HG, a case involving the admissibility of evidence of prior sexual abuse under s 409B of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW). The facts and issues of each case are outlined and it is suggested that central to both decisions was a relatively cautious approach to syndrome evidence. Problems posed by novel or emerging forms of psychological evidence, such as child sexual abuse accommodation syndrome, for juries and judges are explored and it is argued that across jurisdictions, an increased understanding between the law and various branches of science and psychology is needed. | en |
