Wrongful conviction : international perspectives on miscarriages of justice
C. Ronald Huff (Editor), Martin Killias (Editor)
This is a collection of essays that analyse cases of injustice across an array of legal systems. Differences in court procedure are explained as the contributors ask what role the respective criminal justice systems play in preventing or generating wrongful convictions. A cross-national study that shows how various criminal justice systems are susceptible to wrongful convictions. It offers discussions of specific legal systems and considers issues that transcend national boundaries. It also offers suggestions for compensating more fairly those who are wrongfully convicted
