| Abstract | Identification of a person suspected of a heinous crime before being charged risks prejudicing a fair trial. Present laws place this type of publicity outside the reach of sub judice contempt. This thesis argues there should be a change in the law of sub judice contempt making it an offence for the media to publish the fact that a person is under investigation until the person has been charged. |
| Keywords | contempt of court; subjudice; naming suspects before charge; effect of prejudicial pre-trial publicity; influence on jurors; memory; freedom of speech; open justice; public interest; public safety; fair trial; evidential problems; remedies for prejudicial publicity; preferred approach |
