The World’s Biggest Miscarriages of Justice

Justice is the foundation of any civilised society, but what happens when the system designed to protect the innocent in fact condemns them? In this book, Phil Drake exposes cases and consequences of wrongful convictions from around the world and across decades, revealing how coerced confessions, corrupt investigations, and flawed forensic science have sent innocent people to prison while the guilty remain free. From cases of police misconduct to the aftermath of overturned convictions and the unanswered questions left behind, this book takes a hard look at the human cost of legal failures from all perspectives. Examining many cases and using expert insights, The World's Biggest Miscarriages of Justice forces us to confront human fallibility, from the well-intentioned yet misguided to the downright malevolent and the pressing need for accountability and reform.
