What is Convicted but Innocent : Wrongful Conviction and Public Policy about?

'This important book, joining many others about the possibility and actuality of executing innocent persons... examines the full range of potential and real cases in which innocent people are falsely accused, convicted, and incarcerated and describes the variety of missteps in our criminal justice system that lead to unjust imprisonment.... In six clearly written chapters the authors examine the reality of unjust incarceration.... The last chapter may be the most compelling; the authors recommend how to reduce the number of errors in our criminal justice system. For anyone concerned about justice; highly recommended for public and university libraries.'--Choice'In this well-researched and fascinating volume, the authors mix materials from case files in the literature and reported in numerous research reports and in the media. There is great reliance on research studies, national and international, on the accuracy of eyewitness perceptions. Interviews with the exonerated and some of the actors in the system are included as are trial documents and court transcripts as well as media reports on the trials. There is no other book on the ′′guilty′′ but innocent that has so broad a focus
