Description
The Criminal Cases Review Commission: A Critical Examination. This book examines the world's first publicly-funded body, the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which reviews alleged miscarriages of justice. Established in response to high-profile cases such as the Birmingham Six, the commission aims to correct wrongful convictions. However, a critique of its operations reveals that its primary function is not solely focused on helping innocent victims. A closer look at the commission's role and effectiveness raises questions about its impact on those wrongly convicted. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the commission's workings, shedding light on its successes and limitations.
