That's interesting.
I'm going to come back to victims' participation. If we want them to participate more effectively in the process, shouldn't we think about offering victims counselling services? I'm talking about psychologists, social workers or what have you who would help victims by getting them ready to testify and explaining the process to them.
I'm not a psychologist, but I'm sure there are things that can be done to put a person more at ease in the courtroom. That might help victims give more fluid testimony, and thus more useful and understandable testimony from the court's perspective. I don't mean to say that the testimony would be more sincere, because I assume that all victims are being honest and telling the truth.
Would professional services like that be of use?
