Miscarriages of justice occur far more frequently than we realise
and have the power to ruin people's lives. It is crucial for
criminal justice practitioners to understand them, given
significant developments in recent years in law and police codes of
practice. This text, part of the Key themes in policing textbook
series, is written by three highly experienced authors with
expertise in the fields of criminal investigation, forensic
psychology and law and provides an up-to-date and comprehensive
analysis of miscarriages of justice. They highlight difficulties in
defining miscarriages of justice, examine their dimensions, forms,
scale and impact and explore key cases and their causes. Discussing
informal and formal remedies against miscarriages of justice, such
as campaigns and the role of the media and the Court of Appeal and
the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), they highlight
criticism of the activities and decision-making of the latter and
examine changes to police investigation in this area. Designed to
incorporate 'evidence-based policing', each chapter provides
questions reflecting on the issues raised in the text and
suggestions for further reading.
