Produktbeschreibung

Despite the increasing public and academic interest in exonerations, Wrongful Conviction in Sexual Assault is the first book to examine the preponderance of sexual assault cases among US wrongful convictions. The book presents compelling coverage of high-profile wrongful conviction cases, and also lesser known cases, that reveal disturbing patterns and demand attention.
