Wrongful Convictions in Australia: Addressing Issues in the Criminal Justice System

Octavo Size [approx 15.5 x 22.8cm]. Mint condition in pictorial laminated boards. Issued without dustjacket. A new copy. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. xv, 107 pages. This book seeks to document the incidence of wrongful convictions and explain the factors that contribute to them. These include the fallibility of much forensic science evidence, the difficulties for courts in understanding complex scientific evidence, and the contribution made to wrongful convictions by 'tunnel vision' on the part of those investigating and prosecuting crimes. The authors argue for two sets of reforms one to the Forensic Science system and one to establish an independent Criminal Cases Review Commission.
