Memory is often the primary evidence in the courtroom, yet
unfortunately this evidence may not be fit for purpose. This is
because memory is both fallible and malleable; it is possible to
forget and also to falsely remember things which never happened.
The legal system has been slow to adapt to scientific findings
about memory even though such findings have implications for the
use of memory as evidence, not only in the case of eyewitness
testimony, but also for how jurors, barristers, and judges weigh
evidence. Memory and Miscarriages of Justice provides an
authoritative look at the role of memory in law and highlights the
common misunderstandings surrounding it while bringing the modern
scientific understanding of memory to the forefront. Drawing on the
latest research, this book examines cases where memory has played a
role in miscarriages of justice and makes recommendations from the
science of memory to support the future of memory evidence in the
legal system. Appealing to undergraduate and postgraduate students
of psychology and law, memory experts, and legal professionals,
this book provides an insightful and global view of the use of
memory within the legal system.
