Wrongful Convictions and Forensic Science Errors: Case Studies and Root Causes Morgan John
Forensic Science Errors and Wrongful Convictions: Case Studies and Root Causes provides a rigorous and detailed examination of two key issues: the continuing problem of wrongful convictions and the role of forensic science in these miscarriages of justice. It looks at each type of evidence, historical factors, system issues, organizational factors, and individual examiners.Forensic science errors may arise at any time from crime scene to courtroom. This comprehensive textbook covers the full breadth of the topic.
Police investigators may misuse or ignore forensic evidence. Probative evidence may be overlooked at the scene of a crime, or the chain of custody may be compromised. A poorly-trained examiner may not apply the accepted standards of the discipline or may make unsound interpretations that exceed the limits of generally accepted scientific knowledge.
