Memory & Injustice: Wrongful Accusations in the United Kingdom - Paperback

by Kevin Felstead (Author)

Over the past thirty years, thousands of ordinary people have been accused of crimes they've never committed by individuals whose memories are distorted. This book documents the catastrophic impact of these false memories in the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom, which has seen families torn apart, and hundreds of innocent people imprisoned. For more than a decade Dr Kevin Felstead witnessed many of these trials first-hand whilst working for one of the country's leading miscarriages of justice charities. His new book Memory & Injustice - Wrongful Accusations in the United Kingdom is drawn from his extensive courtroom experience and criminological research from that time. It is a must-read for parents, criminal justice practitioners, journalists, social commentators, and students of criminology, history, law, psychology, and sociology.
