Wrongful Conviction: Law, Science, and Policy
No Customer Reviews
The newly updated, revised second edition of Wrongful Conviction addresses and incorporates numerous highly significant developments involving data, law, social science research, and the forensic sciences that relate to wrongful convictions in the American system of justice and that have occurred since the first edition was published in 2011. Coverage includes the incidence, correlates, causes, and consequences of wrongful convictions, as well as recommended reforms. New materials include reference to data made available in the National Registry of Exonerations, coverage of recent federal and state court decisions (including, for example, the cases featured in the Netflix series Making a Murderer), and tracking legislative and other policy innovations nationwide. The volume is organized in the form of a casebook, relying on edited judicial decisions and complementary materials from law, psychology, criminal justice, and the forensic sciences. It is appropriate for use in law schools, graduate and upper-division undergraduate criminal justice classes, and in related disciplines concerned with the administration of justice and wrongful convictions.
