| 单词 | Bad character |
| 释义 | 不良品格 The contrary of ‘good character’: R v Rowton [1861-1873] All ER Rep 549, (1865) Le & Ca 520. Character includes the aggregate of peculiar qualities that constitute personal or national individuality and includes moral qualities and reputation: Jones v DPP [1962] AC 635, 1 All ER 569, 46 Cr App Rep 129 (HL). Bad character includes an offence charged against a person as well as convictions: Stirland v DPP [1944] AC 315 (HL). Generally, the bad character of an accused person cannot be led at a trial unless the accused has in some way made it admissible: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 54(1)(f). Bad character, where admitted in evidence, is relevant only to credibility and not guilt: R v Tong Cho Yan [1982] HKC 254 (CA); HKSAR v Chan Hing Chi [1998] 1 HKLRD 184 (CA). However, where evidence of good character is led to establish unlikelihood of guilt, evidence of bad character can be called in rebuttal of evidence of good character: R v Redd (1922) 17 Cr App R 36; Suen Sun Lam v R [1957] HKLR 175. See also Character of accused; Credibility rule; Good character. 可視為「良好品格」的相對：R v Rowton[1861-1873] All ER Rep 549, (1865) Le & Ca 520。包括組成個人或民族特性的各種特殊質素，並包括道德質素及聲譽：Jones v DPP [1962] AC 635, 1 All ER 569, 46 Cr App Rep 129 （上議院）。也包括對人的控罪和定罪：Stirland v DPP [1944] AC 315（上議院）。一般而言，於審訊中不能問及被告的不良品格，除非被告以若干方式證明有關的不良品格是可接納的證據：《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第54(1)(f)條。如接納被告的不良品格為證據，則只會關乎可信性而非罪行：R v Tong Cho Yan [198２] HKC 254（上訴法庭）；HKSAR v Chan Hing Chi [1998] 1 HKLRD 184（上訴法庭）。但如問及良好品格，以證明罪行相當不可能發生，則對方可提出不良品格的證據作反駁： R v Redd (1922) 17 Cr App R 36；R v Suen Sun Lam [1957] HKLR 175。另見 Character of accused; Credibility rule; Good character。 |
