Miscarriages of justice are a pervasive issue that often goes unnoticed, but their impact can be devastating to individuals and communities. Criminal justice practitioners must have a comprehensive understanding of these occurrences, particularly in light of recent developments in law and police codes of practice. This text, written by three highly experienced authors with expertise in criminal investigation, forensic psychology, and law, offers an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of miscarriages of justice.
Defining miscarriages of justice is a complex task, as they can take various forms and have wide-ranging consequences. The authors examine the dimensions, forms, scale, and impact of miscarriages of justice, highlighting the difficulties in identifying and addressing them. They explore key cases and their causes, shedding light on the factors that contribute to these injustices.
The authors also discuss 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 critically examine the activities and decision-making of the CCRC and explore 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.
Miscarriages of justice are a significant concern that requires attention and action. By understanding these occurrences and exploring effective remedies, criminal justice practitioners can work towards ensuring that justice is served and that the lives of those affected by miscarriages of justice are protected.
