Dr. Reid: The crimes of clandestine injury to women and incest were added in section 28 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1995
to the categories of sexual offences in respect of which evidence of sexual character or sexual history would be inadmissible
without the consent of the court. These were two crimes which the research report suggested should be within the scope of the
legislation.
