About this ebook

""Criminal Justice Flaws"" presents a compelling examination of systematic failures within the American judicial system, anchored by the alarming statistic that one in every 25 death row inmates may be innocent. This comprehensive investigation delves into three critical areas: wrongful convictions, sentencing disparities, and evidence-based reforms, drawing from over 2,000 exoneration cases spanning more than three decades.

Through a meticulous analysis of court records and expert testimony, the book reveals how false confessions, mistaken eyewitness identifications, and compromised forensic evidence contribute to judicial errors. The research combines insights from cognitive psychology, forensic science, and legal scholarship to demonstrate that these failures aren't isolated incidents but rather predictable outcomes of deeper structural problems within the system.

Particularly noteworthy is the book's examination of racial and socioeconomic disparities in sentencing, supported by extensive demographic studies across different jurisdictions. The narrative progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with detailed case studies of wrongful convictions, moving to statistical analysis of sentencing disparities, and concluding with an evaluation of reform initiatives.

While maintaining scholarly rigor, the book remains accessible to general readers through clear exposition and relevant examples, making complex legal concepts understandable without sacrificing depth. Its evidence-based approach offers practical recommendations for reform, from improved forensic standards to modified eyewitness identification procedures, making it an invaluable resource for both legal professionals and concerned citizens.
