Wrongful convictions in Canada / Robert Mason. : YM32-2/2020-77E-PDF

"To have legitimacy, the criminal justice system must be both fair and effective. When it fails to meet these standards, the human cost can be substantial and public confidence can be shaken. Though presumed to be rare, wrongful convictions are among the most serious forms of failure within the criminal justice system. At its most basic level, a wrongful conviction occurs when an innocent person is found guilty of a crime. … This publication discusses the history of wrongful convictions in Canada, current laws and practices affecting people who may have been wrongfully convicted, critiques of these systems and possible areas for reform"--Introduction, pages 1, 2.
