Psychological research examines how flawed suspect interviews, confessions, eyewitness misidentification, and trial procedures significantly increase the risk of convicting the innocent. It highlights systemic issues such as racism and tunnel vision while suggesting practical reforms in legal practices.
In this book, editor Brian L. Cutler presents a provocative overview of current psychological research on conviction of the innocent. Chapter authors investigate how the roles played by suspects, investigators, eyewitnesses, and trial witnesses-as well as pervasive systemic problems-increase the risk of conviction of the innocent.
The chapters skillfully examine psychological perspectives on such topics as police interrogations, confessions, eyewitness identification, trial procedures, juries, and forensic science, as well as broader issues such as racism and tunnel vision within the justice system.
By bringing psychological theories and research to bear on this social problem, the authors derive compelling recommendations for future research and practical reform in police and legal procedures.
