| Summary |
"The book argues that the fundamental cause of wrongful convictions in Canada can be found in the racial and class inequalities that characterize much of Canadian society, including the justice system. The authors analyze six well-known cases of wrongful conviction in Canada and illustrate how the powerlessness of a marginalized person was a major factor leading to conviction. The authors conclude their indictment of Canada's social structure by suggesting ways to prevent wrongful convictions in the future." |
