| Summary |
"Drawing upon a wealth of research evidence, this text examines the historical, structural, cultural and political tensions that exist within the criminal process and the ways in which routine injustices and wrongful convictions are produced. The nature of the now infamous miscarriage of justice case is explored, together with the impact of the Royal Commission on Criminal Justice Report of 1993 and the wave of legislation which followed it."--BOOK JACKET |
