| Popis: | This year, twomain themes can be discerned from the criminal jurisprudence of the Supreme Court: first, the Court’s treatment of Scottish human rights cases and second, its contrasting approach to public protection. This article examines the Court’s judgments in these areas in greater depth. The article considers five cases which the Court heard in the 2010–11 legal year. First, in relation to the Scottish human rights jurisprudence, Cadder v HM Advocate (Scotland)1 and Fraser v HM Advocate (Scotland)2 will be discussed. Second, in relation to the public protection theme, the cases of R v Maxwell,3 R v Smith,4 and R (GC) v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis5 will be examined. |
