This book, now in paperback, focuses on the world's first
publicly-funded body to review alleged miscarriages of justice, set
up in the wake of notorious cases such as the Guildford Four and
the Birmingham Six. Bringing together critical perspectives from
campaigners, prominent criminal appeal practitioners and academic
specialists, it centres on the different aspects of the CCRC's
tasks, in particular, the limitations placed on it by its governing
statute that hinder its claimed independence from the appeal courts
and its working practices which prevents the referral of cases in
which victims may be factually innocent. The book compares the CCRC
with existing systems in Scotland, the US and Canada that deal with
alleged wrongful convictions. Thoroughly undermining its
operations, this study argues that the CCRC's help to innocent
victims of wrongful conviction is merely incidental.
