Evidence and proof, narrative and reasoning in legal discourse and the reform of criminal evidence have been the subject of much debate in recent years. This book offers an alternative approach to the rationalist tradition from three perspectives - the historical, the analytical and the applied. The essays are linked and each examines a particular topic in detail. The author has attempted to suggest ideas for further research, and to propose connections between areas in the hope of helping students and theorists to find new perspectives on familiar subjects.
