Wrongfully Convicted Guilty Pleas Imagined : Crimes and What Canada Must Do to Safeguard Justice

From Canada's top scholar in the area of wrongful convictions comes the most comprehensive and insightful analysis we have seen to date. Roach's book is a call to action that should be required reading for every person working in Canada's criminal legal system and every person who cares about justice. Roach's thoroughly researched and thought-provoking work on the topic of wrongful convictions . . . brings to our attention the many important cases of wrongful conviction in Canada that are largely unknown but demonstrate that we are in dire need of a new system to address wrongful convictions in Canada; we are currently failing the wrongly convicted, and they are languishing in our prisons. This book will become required reading for the students and lawyers that work with the UBC Innocence Project
