Wrongful Conviction and Criminal Justice Reform

Wrongful Conviction and Criminal Justice Reform is an important addition to the literature and teaching on innocence reform. This book delves into wrongful convictions studies and expands upon them by offering potential reforms that would alleviate the problem of wrongful convictions in the criminal justice system. Written to be accessible to students, Wrongful Conviction and Criminal Justice Reform is a main text for wrongful convictions courses or a secondary text for more general courses in criminal justice, political science, and law school innocence clinics.

Marvin Zalman is professor of criminal justice at Wayne State University. He has written on criminal procedure (e.g., articles on Miranda rights, the Fourth Amendment, and venue); criminal justice policy; wrongful conviction; criminal justice and civil liberties; and judicial sentencing. Recent publications include Wrongful Conviction (Oxford Bibliographies Online, Fall 2012); Qualitatively Estimating the Incidence of Wrongful Convictions (Criminal Law Bulletin, 2012); An Integrated Justice Model of Wrongful Convictions (Albany Law Review, 2011); Measuring Wrongful Convictions (Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Springer, 2014); and Edwin Borchard and the Limits of Innocence Reform (in Huff & Killias, eds., Wrongful Convictions and Miscarriages of Justice, Routledge, 2013).

Julia Carrano currently oversees a Department of Justice grant at the University of Mississippi. Formerly a research professor at American University, she supervised a large-scale empirical study of wrongful convictions (Predicting Erroneous Convictions, National Institute of Justice, 2013). Recently, she also co-authored Predicting Erroneous Convictions (Iowa Law Review, 2013) and served as the area editor for wrongful convictions in the Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Springer, 2014). She holds a JD from the George Washington University Law School and an MA in anthropology from UC Santa Barbara.

CRIMINOLOGY AND JUSTICE STUDIES SERIES

Edited by Chester Britt, Northeastern University, and Shaun L. Gabbidon,

Criminology and Justice Studies offers works that make both intellectual and stylistic innovations in the study of crime and criminal justice. The goal of the series is to publish works that model the best scholarship and thinking in the criminology and criminal justice field today, but in a style that connects that scholarship to a wider audience including advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and the general public. The works in this series help fill the gap between academic monographs and encyclopedic textbooks by making innovative scholarship accessible to a large audience without the superficiality of many texts.

CONTENTS

Jon B. Gould

A leading wrongful conviction authority outlines the issue. Despite growing awareness of a flawed criminal justice system, many cannot identify with being wrongfully convicted, weakening public demand for change. Nevertheless, as reforms designed to reduce miscarriages of justice take hold, the issue should not be viewed as a partisan issue but one of vital concern to all criminal justice stakeholders and the public.

Julia Carrano and Marvin Zalman

The chapter briefly reviews the definition of wrongful conviction, the magnitude of the problem, and sources of wrongful convictions. Summaries and brief statements about the chapters follow.
