Crime, Social History and Mystery – Ask the Experts?
Description
This course is part of Dillington Discovery Summer week.
Or should we beware of experts? Was a well known politician right to say that we have had enough of experts? The courts have been using the services of ‘expert’ witnesses for generations, but today we will be considering the benefits, perils and pitfalls, with particular reference to the life and career of Sir Bernard Spilsbury, then putting the current and future role of expert witnesses under the microscope.
