Blind Injustice A Former Prosecutor Exposes the Psychology and Politics of Wrongful Convictions【電子書籍】[ Mark Godsey ]
<p><strong>Awarded Digital Book World’s Best Book Published by a University Press</strong></p> <p>In this unprecedented view from the trenches, prosecutor turned champion for the innocent Mark Godsey takes us inside the frailties of the human mind as they unfold in real-world wrongful convictions. Drawing upon stories from his own career, Godsey shares how innate psychological flaws in judges, police, lawyers, and juries coupled with a “tough on crime” environment can cause investigations to go awry, leading to the convictions of innocent people.</p> <p>In <em>Blind Injustice,</em> Godsey explores distinct psychological human weaknesses inherent in the criminal justice systemーconfirmation bias, memory malleability, cognitive dissonance, bureaucratic denial, dehumanization, and othersーand illustrates each with stories from his time as a hard-nosed prosecutor and then as an attorney for the Ohio Innocence Project.</p> <p>He also lays bare the criminal justice system’s internal political pressures. How does the fact that judges, sheriffs, and prosecutors are elected officials influence how they view cases? How can defense attorneys support clients when many are overworked and underpaid? And how do juries overcome bias leading them to believe that police and expert witnesses know more than they do about what evidence means?</p> <p>This book sheds a harsh light on the unintentional yet routine injustices committed by those charged with upholding justice. Yet in the end, Godsey recommends structural, procedural, and attitudinal changes aimed at restoring justice to the criminal justice system.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
