Overall the measures desisgned to make things easier for victims giving evidence may damage die process for defendandts by excluding some evidence which they could otherwise have used to disprove the charges against them while not making giving evidence in court easier for victims. Finally eltough the reforms introduced in the youth justice and criminal evidence act 1999 and the criminal justice act 2003 to improve the experiences of vulenerable victims in court have to some extent promoted the theory that the criminal justice process has the prevention of social harm as one of its aims they have tried to increase victims right mainly by taking rights away from defandants , these reforms have not improved conditions for all vulnerable victims in court and have failed to address the fundemantal issue of victims having to give evidence and be cross examined in court orally. Overally they have removed further due process from the courts in terms of through proof of the defendandts mens rea and criminal responsibility while not improving the social justice of the court process for all of those who need it the most. When it comes to the pre trial process it usually starting with when the victims make their complaint to the police and then after police investigate it and the case get passed
