Abstract
What are the implications of imposing reporting restrictions on the identity of children who are victims of homicide? What different approaches could the Scottish Government adopt to legislating in this area? Drawing on the broader findings of a comparative study of reporting restrictions across twenty different common law jurisdictions, this consultation response considers these questions, highlighting some of the implications of proposals in this area for fundamental rights, including privacy and free expression.
