Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Canada's leading authority" (Kirk Makin, journalist and author) explains Canada's national tragedy of wrongful convictions, how anyone could be caught up in them, and what we can do to safeguard justice.Canada has a serious problem: a significant but unknown number of people have been convicted for crimes they didn't commit. There are famous cases of wrongful convictions, such as David Milgaard and Donald Marshall, Jr., where the system convicted the wrong person for murder. But there are lesser-known cases: people who feel they have no option but to plead guilty, and people convicted of crimes that were imagined by experts or the police that never, in fact, happened. Kent Roach, cofounder of the Canadian Registry of Wrongful Convictions, award-winning author, and law professor, has dedicated his illustrious career to documenting flaws in our justice system. His work reveals that the burden of wrongful convictions falls disproportionately on the disadvantaged, including Indigenous and racialized people, those with cognitive issues, single mothers, and the poor. This original and eye-opening book makes a compelling case for change that governments have so far lacked the courage to implement. Canadians would benefit from better legislative regulation of police and forensic experts and the creation of a permanent and independent federal commission investigate wrongful convictions and their multiple causes. But do we have the political will? Roach's research, and the real-life but hard-to-believe cases outlined here, point to systemic failings in our legal system. Many of the wrongfully convicted are still waiting for the promise of justice. It is an issue that affects all Canadians.
