ABSTRACT This article makes a case for pre-recorded, modularized expert evidence as a way to improve access to justice in some intimate partner violence (IPV) cases. Knowledge about the effects and dynamics of IPV regularly plays an important role in criminal trials. This knowledge is often beyond the ken of the factfinder and thus can provide important context for the case facts. It may also assist in disabusing misconceptions surrounding IPV. Despite the potential value of this knowledge, several rules of evidence and the general nature of the Anglo-American trial process make it difficult to tender such evidence. For instance, trials prefer live testimony of expert witnesses over other means of conveying exogenous knowledge. These limitations place impecunious parties in regional areas at a disadvantage because they may struggle to find qualified experts. As a result, cross-examined pre-recorded modules about IPV (eg, factors that prevent individuals from leaving abusive relationships, IPV as coercive control) may be helpful in some cases.

亲密伴侣暴力案件中预先记录的专家证据

摘要 本文将预先记录的、模块化的专家证据作为一种在某些亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 案件中改善诉诸司法的方式的案例。有关 IPV 的影响和动态的知识在刑事审判中经常发挥重要作用。这种知识通常超出了事实发现者的知识范围，因此可以为案件事实提供重要的背景信息。它还可能有助于消除对 IPV 的误解。尽管这些知识具有潜在价值，但若干证据规则和英美审判程序的一般性质使得提供此类证据变得困难。例如，审判更喜欢专家证人的现场证词，而不是其他传达外生知识的方式。这些限制使偏远地区的贫困政党处于不利地位，因为他们可能难以找到合格的专家。因此，在某些情况下，交叉检查有关 IPV 的预先录制的模块（例如，防止个人离开虐待关系的因素，IPV 作为强制控制）可能会有所帮助。
