This book offers a review of current psychological research on convictions of the innocent and also provides a direction for future research on the subject. Authors detail the parts played by
suspects, investigators, eyewitnesses, and trial witnesses. They also address the pervasive problems that can lead to a wrongful conviction. Some specific topics include: at-risk populations
under investigation and at trial, detecting deception, false confessions, fallible eyewitness memory and identification, race and racism, juries, and procedural justice evaluations in
interrogations. The book is intended for a broad audience: researchers, expert witnesses, lawyers and judges, and policy makers. Editor Cutler (social science and humanities, U. of Ontario
Institute of Technology, Canada) and 31 co-authors provided material for the book. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
