  • The police must follow a range of legal processes and procedures when investigating a crime to make  sure the suspects and witness are treated fairly.
  • A suspect who is informed of their right to silence may still answer police questions when it is against their best interests.Particularly if they are not familiar with English or have trouble communicating.
  • For example, various  groups of people like Aboriginal,people or Torres Strait Islanders, those from a non-English speaking background/mental disorder.
  • A hearing impairment may be disadvantaged when dealing with court system because they do not have adequate communication skills.

  • The media both traditional and online media can spread information quickly in a way that can create the impression of a person's guilt before they have even been to court.
  • Trail by media can undermine the basic principle that all individuals that are being accused of a crime have a presumption of innocence must be treated as innocent proven guilty.
  • For example members of a jury(who are responsible for determining the guilt of an accused in a criminal trail)
  • Potential jurors may also feel pressure to find a person guilty or not guilty based on public opinion, and find it difficult to remain impartial.
  • Over the years , intense concentrated media coverage of high profile court case has jeopardised the ability of jurors to remain unbiased and led to unfair trails.
  • For example the movie when they see us which is based on a true story about 7 African boys who were falsely accused of murdering and raping a women who was taking a walk in the park the same day the boys were at the park.
