The Victimology of a Wrongful Conviction 1st Edition

The Victimology of a Wrongful Conviction, 1st Edition by Nicky Ali Jackson, Kathryn M. Campbell, and Margaret Pate offers a vital, compassionate exploration of an often-overlooked perspective in criminal justice: the lived experience of those harmed by wrongful convictions. This book immediately draws you into the human cost behind legal errors—lost years, fractured families, and the long road to recovery—and reframes exonerees as victims deserving of support, recognition, and redress.

Grounded in multidisciplinary research, the authors blend forensic analysis, psychological insight, and ethical reflection to unpack how wrongful convictions occur and how they reverberate through individuals, families, and communities. Detailed case studies and evidence-based discussion illuminate trauma, stigma, reintegration challenges, and the systemic reforms needed to prevent future injustices. Practitioners will appreciate the practical frameworks for victim services and policy responses; students and scholars will find rigorous theory and contemporary debates; advocates and policymakers will gain clear recommendations for meaningful change.

Whether you work in criminal justice, social work, mental health, law, or public policy—or you simply seek to understand the human impact of legal failure—this book equips you with the knowledge to act. It is especially relevant to readers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other common-law jurisdictions confronting wrongful conviction issues.

Clear, authoritative, and deeply human, The Victimology of a Wrongful Conviction is an essential resource for anyone committed to fairness, accountability, and healing. Order your copy today to deepen your understanding and join the movement toward justice reform.
