This collection brings together international experts to present a
comparative analysis of wrongful conviction and criminal procedure.
The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach with authors drawn from
a broad range of backgrounds including law, psychology, forensics and
journalism. All are experts in their field with direct experience of
the investigation of wrongful conviction in their own countries.
Focusing on the main areas of concern in their own jurisdiction, each
author discusses common themes, including: the extent of the problem;
the types of cases that feature in miscarriages of justice; the legal
mechanism for the correction of a wrongful conviction; compensation
for the wrongly convicted; public awareness and concern about the
issue generally and in light of highprofile cases; and the extent to
which wrongful conviction has driven criminal justice reform. The book
will be essential reading for students, researchers and policy-makers
interested in comparative law, criminology and psychology.
