New York University Press Exonerated
Book SynopsisThe fascinating story behind the innocence movement's quest for justice. Documentaries like Making a Murderer, the first season of Serial, and the cause célèbre that was the West Memphis Three captured the attention of millions and focused the national discussion on wrongful convictions. This interest is warranted: more than 1,800 people have been set free in recent decades after being convicted of crimes they did not commit. In response to these exonerations, federal and state governments have passed laws to prevent such injustices; lawyers and police have changed their practices; and advocacy organizations have multiplied across the country. Together, these activities are often referred to as the innocence movement. Exonerated provides the first in-depth look at the history of this movement through interviews with key leaders such as Barry Scheck and Rob Warden as well as archival and field research into the major cases that brought awareness to wrongful convictions in the United STrade Review"[An] informative overview of the development of the innocence movement...A useful contribution to an important national conversation about crime and punishment." * Kirkus Reviews *"Exoneratedis the first complete and authentic history of the innocence movement. Robert J. Norris shows us how it came into being and how it evolved over the decades. He also shines light on the issues involved and the challenges the movement faces. With his unmatched academic credential, Norris has written a book that will benefit both students and experts of innocence movement." * The Washington Book Review *"Exonerated delineates the origin story of the “innocence movement,” a highly publicized pivot in legal circles in the late twentieth century toward the wrongful conviction of innocent persons. Robert J. Norris focuses mostly on the key players involved in the early days of using forensic DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to exonerate innocents … Exonerated draws on social movements theory to explain in terms of political opportunities for legal reform, local actions of individuals and organizations, and the ways key players framed innocence to bolster its legitimacy." -- The Journal of American History"It (is) a valuable window into the effect of many factors that drive the criminal justice system (race, class, and gender) but not necessarily a means of addressing them. This careful attention to grounding his history makes the book a valuable reference for social scientists, graduate students, and anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of change in the legal system." * International Criminal Justice Review *"This work is readily accessible to most adult audiences, and is especially recommended for all college, university, and seminary libraries." * Catholic Library World *"Robert J. Norris book,Exonerated,is the first complete and exhaustive treatment of the [innocence] movement itself. The book offers a deep dive. The fact that it is nonetheless eminently readable speaks to Norriss ability to merge impressive scholarship and research with fascinating stories, interesting interviews and anecdotal information. The result is an impressive history layered over with entertaining color." * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Book Reviews *"Exonerated is the definitive account of how the innocence movement transformed public views about the everyday fallibility of the American criminal justice system in the late 20th century, and why preventing the wrongful convictions of the factually innocent remains more important than ever in the 21st century." -- Richard A. Leo,author, The Wrong Guys: Murder, False Confessions and the Norfolk Four"Exonerated is the first serious, thorough history of the modern innocence movement. A major, innovative contribution to the scholarship on wrongful convictions and a true delight to read." -- Daniel S. Medwed,author, Prosecution Complex: America’s Race to Convict and Its Impact on the Innocent"A timely and important new contribution to the literature, Exonerated is both an accessible history of the recent history of wrongful convictions, and a much needed analysis of the innocence movement as a social movement." -- Simon A. Cole,author, Suspect Identities: A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal Identification"Carefully researched and elegantly written, this book calls attention to the importance of wrongful convictions for the death penalty and beyond. It shows how the criminal justice system is at the heart of efforts to achieve social justice. This is an important book." -- Sister Helen Prejean,author, Dead Man Walking and The Death of Innocents

Additionally, the animal can be the victim, suspect or in some instances the witness of a crime. Given that acquittal or conviction is dependent upon the nature and veracity of the evidence, the quality of the evidence in an animal-related crime investigation must be beyond reproach.

Each chapter is followed by a comment from a different author, providing an additional expert view on each reform proposal. Finally, the last two chapters broaden the debate to discuss criminal law reform in general, examining various reform bodies and mechanisms across England, Wales and Scotland.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Data Protection Migration and Border Control
Book SynopsisThis book assesses data protection rules that are applicable to the processing of personal data in a law enforcement context. It offers the first extensive analysis of the LED and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. It illustrates the challenges arising from the unclear delineation between the different data protection instruments at both national and EU level. Taking a practical approach, it exemplifies situations where the application of data protection instruments could give rise to a lowering of data protection standards where the data protection rules applicable in the law enforcement context are interpreted broadly. The scope of data protection instruments applied by law enforcement authorities impacts processing for purposes of border control, migration management and asylum because there is an unclear delineation between the different data protection instruments.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Advanced Introduction to Evidence
Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.This Advanced Introduction to Evidence delivers a comprehensive exposition of the major tenets of evidence law, principally from an American perspective. Using the Federal Rules of Evidence as a structural framework, Richard D. Friedman reflects on the underlying policies, psychological perceptions and philosophical viewpoints that underpin evidence law.This comprehensive and accessible book concludes that there are still several important factors that preclude a system of completely free proof, such as the need to prevent bias of the fact-finder, incentivise socially beneficial conduct, prevent undue intrusion on individuals’ lives and ensure that testimony is given according to prescribed procedures. Key Features: Provides an incisive overview of the law of evidence Examines how common-law courts have become more receptive to evidence over the last 200 years Deftly explores the policies, concepts and philosophies that have resulted in 21st-century evidence law Analyses multiple factors that prevent the adoption of a legal system of completely free proof This masterful Advanced Introduction will be a wonderful study aid for students learning evidence law and a crucial read for scholars and academics across multiple disciplines including evidence law, criminal law, constitutional law, criminology, politics, and sociology. It will also prove a key resource for legal practitioners and professionals working in public and social policy.Trade Review‘Friedman expertly guides the reader through the basic conceptual architecture of common law evidentiary analysis and argumentation, employing the US Federal Rules of Evidence as a handy, and – happily – largely unobtrusive, theoretical scaffold.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Advanced Introduction to Evidence
Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.This Advanced Introduction to Evidence delivers a comprehensive exposition of the major tenets of evidence law, principally from an American perspective. Using the Federal Rules of Evidence as a structural framework, Richard D. Friedman reflects on the underlying policies, psychological perceptions and philosophical viewpoints that underpin evidence law.This comprehensive and accessible book concludes that there are still several important factors that preclude a system of completely free proof, such as the need to prevent bias of the fact-finder, incentivise socially beneficial conduct, prevent undue intrusion on individuals’ lives and ensure that testimony is given according to prescribed procedures. Key Features: Provides an incisive overview of the law of evidence Examines how common-law courts have become more receptive to evidence over the last 200 years Deftly explores the policies, concepts and philosophies that have resulted in 21st-century evidence law Analyses multiple factors that prevent the adoption of a legal system of completely free proof This masterful Advanced Introduction will be a wonderful study aid for students learning evidence law and a crucial read for scholars and academics across multiple disciplines including evidence law, criminal law, constitutional law, criminology, politics, and sociology. It will also prove a key resource for legal practitioners and professionals working in public and social policy.Trade Review‘Friedman expertly guides the reader through the basic conceptual architecture of common law evidentiary analysis and argumentation, employing the US Federal Rules of Evidence as a handy, and – happily – largely unobtrusive, theoretical scaffold. Belying the depths of its erudition, the text adopts an unstuffy, informal tone, accessible to multiple readerships, including students approaching Evidence law for the first time.’ -- Paul Roberts, University of Nottingham, UK‘A clear, concise, and (dare I say) delightful journey through the rules of evidence by one of our foremost evidence scholars.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Hearsay Evidence in Criminal Proceedings
Book SynopsisThe Criminal Justice Act 2003 re-wrote the hearsay evidence rule for the purpose of criminal proceedings, enacting the recommendations of the Law Commission together with some proposals from the Auld Review. In 2008, Professor Spencer wrote a book explaining the new law, intended for practitioners as well as academics. Following the style of his earlier book about the new law on bad character evidence, the core of the hearsay book was a section-by-section commentary on the relevant provisions of the Act, discussing the case law that had interpreted them. Since the appearance of the first edition, the new law on hearsay evidence has been the subject of a spectacular exchange between the UK Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, the effects of which the Court of Appeal has interpreted in several leading cases. In this new edition, the commentary is revised to take account of these developments. As in the first edition, the commentary is preceded by chapters on the history of the hearsay rule, and the requirements of Article 6(3)(d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is followed by an appendix containing the text of the statutory provisions and a selection of the leading cases.Table of Contents1 Introduction Hearsay rule and the rise and fall of the exclusionary rules of evidence Scope and evolution of the hearsay rule Hearsay rule in criminal law as it stood before the 2003 reform: Justifications for the rule Criticisms of the hearsay rule Hearsay rule as seen by legal writers The 'directness principle' or 'best evidence' approach Abolition of the hearsay rule in civil proceedings Background to the 2003 reform: Criminal Law Revision Committee, Fraud Trials Committee, Law Commission and Auld Review Reform: Criminal Justice Act 2003, Part 11, Chapter 2 Conclusion: provisional assessment of the reform Scope Date of entry into force 2 Hearsay and the European Convention on Human Rights The confrontation principle ECHR, Article 6 (3)(d) Who is a 'witness' for the purposes of ECHR, Article 6(3)(d)?

To what extent, if any, is it ever possible to base a conviction on the evidence of a witness or witnesses whom the defendant was unable to 'examine or have examined', without infringing his rights under ECHR, Article 6(3)(d)? The defendant's right to confrontation—the case for a new system of taking evidence ahead of trial 3 The scope of the reform, the shape of the new exclusionary rule and the new scheme of exceptions General scope of the new law Abolition of the common law exclusionary rule: the demise of Kearley The new exclusionary rule: CJA 2003, sections 114(1) and 115 The new definition of hearsay: conclusion Scheme of exceptions 4 Hearsay admitted by agreement 5 The 'inclusionary discretion' and the general discretion to exclude Discretionary inclusion under CJA 2003, section 114(1)(d): 'safetyvalve' or alternative tap?
