| 单词 | Propensity evidence |
| 释义 | 習性/傾向 證據 Evidence of the disposition or inclination of a person to act in a particular way or act with a particular state of mind: DDP v P [1991] 2 AC 447. If admitted, the evidence is relied upon to prove matters such as the identification of the person who committed a crime, the mens rea of the accused when he or she committed a certain act or omission, and the way the accused acts toward a certain person or class of persons. The evidence generally falls into two categories, similar fact evidence and evidence of relationship. Generally, the propensity of the accused to commit offences generally or of a particular type is not admitted by courts because of its highly prejudicial effect unless its has a strong degree of probative force (HKSAR v Zabed Ali [2002] 4 HKC 349 (CA)) or unless it is being admitted on behalf of an accused. However, evidence of previous criminal conduct which demonstrated propensity only does not meet the stringent tests for admissibility if it is not relevant: R v Tsang Wai Ki [1996] 3 HKC 111 (CA).
