Dr Diana Eades is a senior academic, specializing in sociolinguistics, whose life's work has been focused upon the difficulties which can arise in the criminal justice system because of cultural differences in use of language by Aboriginal witnesses. Many of the chapters in this volume examine particular cases in which problems of this nature have arisen.
