Wrongful Conviction: Law, Science, and Policy

The updated second edition of *Wrongful Conviction* brings together major new developments in data, law, social science, and forensic science related to wrongful convictions in the U.S. justice system since the first edition in 2011. It covers the frequency, patterns, causes, and impacts of wrongful convictions, along with suggested reforms. New content includes data from the National Registry of Exonerations, recent federal and state court rulings (such as cases from the Netflix series *Making a Murderer*), and updates on legislative and policy changes nationwide. Organized like a casebook, it uses edited court decisions and supporting materials from law, psychology, criminal justice, and forensic science, making it ideal for law schools, advanced undergraduate and graduate criminal justice courses, and related fields focused on justice and wrongful convictions.
