Description
Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The Crisis in Our Justice System A shocking series of miscarriages of justice has led to a growing crisis in the UK's criminal justice system. Journalist Jon Robbins examines a range of cases where serious concerns about the safety of each conviction have been raised. He reveals how a combination of factors, including inadequate policing, poor legal defence and a lack of media scrutiny, have contributed to this crisis. The case of the Birmingham Six in 1991 is just one example of how a series of events can lead to major structural reform of the justice system. However, despite these reforms, the problem persists. Robbins' investigation sheds light on the failures that have allowed miscarriages of justice to occur, and the need for a more effective watchdog to oversee and prevent such cases. By exploring these shocking cases, Robbins exposes the complacency that exists around our criminal justice system. This is a thought-provoking and timely book that will be of interest to anyone concerned about the fairness and effectiveness of the justice system.
