Year: 2017
Type: preprint
Abstract: This article asks: (1) Should criminal justice and criminological research related to wrongful conviction be more extensive?; (2) What is innocence scholarship?; and (3) How have criminologists and criminal justice researchers contributed to the study of wrongful convictions and what are the paths forward? This article is framed by the observation that crime scholars play a small role in innocence scholarship hence the challenge and invitation.
