In Wrongful Conviction in Sexual Assault, Matthew Barry Johnson
introduces new directions in wrongful conviction research and
understanding. Citing Innocence Project and National Registry of
Exoneration data, the book identifies sexual assault as the
predominant offense type associated with confirmed wrongful
convictions in the US. Johnson outlines the differential risk of
wrongful conviction associated with stranger rape, acquaintance
rape, and intra-familial child sexual abuse. He also introduces new
terms and concepts such as "black box" investigation, illustrating
the lack of transparency in the production of prosecution evidence;
a four-part stranger rape thesis; and the "moral outrage - moral
correction" process that results in cognitive and emotional factors
that interfere with the evaluation of criminal evidence. The book
also includes chapters on racial bias in rape prosecution, and the
relationship of serial sex offending to wrongful conviction. Citing
both foundational and newly-introduced conviction research, Johnson
illustrates unexamined aspects of well-known wrongful conviction
cases (i.e. The Central Park Five, Steve Avery, Ronald Cotton, The
Norfolk Four) and presents the lessons from lesser known wrongful
convictions. Wrongful Conviction in Sexual Assault provides
valuable new perspectives and insight for psychologists, defense
lawyers, prosecutors, crime investigators, and social justice
scholars.
