The law on criminal procedure in Kenya has tremendously changed after the Constitution of Kenya of 2010. New institutions with an impact on the criminal process such as the National Police Service, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Supreme Court were created. Certain rights that were hitherto unavailable were entrenched in the constitution, including the right to bail irrespective of the offence and the right to legal representation. The superior courts have had a busy time in the interpretation of the current law, and groundbreaking jurisprudence has emerged. There is no doubt that the study of criminal procedure has significantly changed. This book covers all important aspects of criminal procedure, taking into consideration the changes brought about by the Constitution of 2010. It fills a void created by the lack of updated texts on the law of criminal procedure. It utilizes simple, easy-to-understand language and makes reference to both local and international case law. This book will prove to be an invaluable companion to students of criminal procedure, legal practitioners, researchers, and the general public.
Written in a clear, concise and engaging style this book presents the entire criminal process in a simple, yet authoritative and informative way. The core principles that underpin the criminal procedure, their rationale and assumptions are well articulated and critiqued. In addition the book presents by way of illustration a comprehensive range of the latest local judicial decisions.
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, Moi University, language: English, abstract: This research examines the legal framework for governing sexual consent and accessing whether it has been successful or not. This research will also propose reforms on the legal framework governing sexual consent for the strengthening of laws on sexual offenses in Kenya. Sexual offenses remain a major challenge that Kenya is facing today. Sexual offenses have adverse effects of derailing not only ones legal, social and economic development but also that of the country as a whole. There is a high prevalence of gender‐based violence in Kenya. Sexual violence takes many forms, including rape, sexual assault, defilement, incest, and many others. This type of violence is a reflection of gender inequality in a society where mostly men exercise power over women and girls. The Sexual Offenses Act, 2006 was passed in order to deal with the problem of sexual violence since sexual offenses were previously governed by the Penal Code.
