Reviews

'Provides a unique view of the biology of injustice and draws many lessons for judicial reform'-- Floreat (Journal of the Rugbeian Society); 'The beauty of this book is that it also highlights three cases of wrongful convictions from three countries, the United Kingdom, the United States and Italy, proving that injustice happens everywhere... I highly recommend this book for the public, but I also think that it would greatly benefit those in law enforcement'-- Wrongful Conviction News.
