    Synopsis

    "Imperfections in the criminal justice system have long intrigued the general public and worried scholars and legal practitioners. In Wrongful Conviction, criminologists C. Ronald Huff and Martin Killias present an important collection of essays that analyzes cases of injustice across an array of legal systems, with contributors from North America, Europe, and Israel." Using this cross-national perspective, the volume offers detailed discussions of specific legal systems while also considering issues that transcend national boundaries. Differences in court procedures are explained ascontributors ask what role the respective criminal justice systems play in preventing or generating wrongful convictions. Most importantly, this collection includes anumber of well-developed public policy recommendations intended to reduce the instances ofcourts punishing innocents. It also offers suggestions for compensating more fairly those who are wrongfully convicted.
