The thesis examines the role of evidential relevance in the context of criminal trials in the Crown Court. Despite being a central concept in the law of evidence, there is little academic literature examining the precise role that relevance plays in admitting evidence in criminal trials. This thesis will examine the nature of 'evidential relevance' and explore how relevance works in the general sense, as well as in the context of bad character evidence and sexual history evidence. This thesis will supplement a doctrinal and theoretical examination of evidential relevance with a practical exploration of its use. To gain an insight into the practical use of relevance by legal professionals, the research will draw upon in-depth qualitative interviews with barristers and judges.

本文探讨了证据相关性在刑事法庭刑事审判中的作用。尽管相关性是证据法中的一个核心概念，但很少有学术文献研究相关性在刑事审判中接受证据时所起的确切作用。本论文将探讨“证据关联性”的本质，并探讨一般意义上的关联性如何运作，以及在不良品格证据和性史证据的背景下如何运作。本文将通过对证据关联性的实践探索来补充对证据关联性的理论和实践检验。为了深入了解法律的专业人士对相关性的实际使用，本研究将利用对大律师和法官的深入定性访谈。
