This book delves into the profound impact of wrongful convictions, extending beyond the direct victims who have been unjustly incarcerated to encompass a wide range of indirect victims who suffer collateral consequences. By recognizing the devastating effects on the wrongfully convicted, this book broadens its scope to examine the far-reaching consequences for family, friends, co-workers, witnesses, the initial victims of the crime, and society as a whole. Often overlooked in discussions of wrongful conviction, these indirect victims deserve attention and understanding.
Through in-depth interviews with exonerees and indirect victims, the authors vividly capture the tangible and intangible costs of victimization across the board. The prison experience is explored from the perspective of an innocent individual, shedding light on the psychological toll of incarceration for the exoneree. Special emphasis is placed on the often-ignored experiences of female exonerees and the profound impact of race as a compounding factor in numerous miscarriages of justice.
The book concludes with an overview of the victimization experiences that follow exonerees upon their release. Unique to this work is its interdisciplinary approach, drawing perspectives from various fields such as criminal justice, criminology, victimology, psychology, sociology, social justice, history, political science, and law. Undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines will find this book invaluable as a resource for their studies, while professionals in the legal system will gain a deeper appreciation of the far-reaching costs of wrongful convictions.
