It compares inquisitorial systems, with examples from Europe, South America and Asia to adversarial systems. It contrasts England's focus on the miscarriage of justice and the remedial institutions of the Court of Appeal and the Criminal Cases Review Commission, with the United States and China's narrower focus on proven factual innocence It highlights new laws enacted in India in 2023 that increase the risk of wrongful convictions, and details how the International Criminal Court has taken steps to reduce the risk of false guilty pleas that may have been accepted by previous international criminal courts. The book examines the roles of racist prejudice and gender stereotypes in wrongful convictions. It also examines false guilty pleas such as those in the Post Office scandal, as well as wrongful convictions for crimes that did not happen. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368273031541,"sku":"9781009608312","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781009608312_ad444a69-5054-4023-a4d1-c7ce72514bcf.jpg?v=1786017412"},{"product_id":"red-alert","title":"Red Alert","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRed Alert\u003c\/em\u003e is a timely exploration of a national institution that has lurched from crisis to crisis. Once a mainstay of the nation’s image, the future of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has become increasingly uncertain with Alberta and British Columbia proposing the establishment of provincial services to replace them and Justin Trudeau calling for the force to be reduced by two thirds to focus on national security.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolicing and legal expert Kent Roach highlights the increasing challenges the RCMP faces as underlined by the 2020 massacres of twenty-two people in rural Nova Scotia and the underexamined 2022 mass murder of eleven people on James Smith Cree Nation. \u003cem\u003eRed Alert\u003c\/em\u003e explains how the RCMP’s insistence on boot camp training helps it retain its colonial and paramilitary nature, making it an incompatible fit for the specialized and dynamic world of modern policing.

Providing an overarching two-track theory, it combines remedies to compensate and prevent irreparable harm to litigants with a more dialogic approach to systemic remedies. It breaks new ground by demonstrating how proportionality principles can improve remedial decision-making and avoid reliance on either strong discretion or inflexible rules. It draws on the latest jurisprudence from the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights and domestic courts in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Separate chapters are devoted to interim remedies, remedies for laws that violate human rights, damages, remedies in the criminal process, declarations and injunctions in institutional cases, remedies for violations of social and economic rights and remedies for violations of Indigenous rights.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57483439341941,"sku":"9781108405973","price":47.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57688204476789,"sku":"9781108417877","price":121.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781108405973_da8058bf-68d7-463c-8628-13472fd4116b.jpg?v=1792686129"},{"product_id":"criminal-law-3","title":"Criminal Law","description":"A definitive guide to Canadian criminal law, now in its ninth edition, this book is authored by renowned criminal law expert and professor Kent Roach.
