The Wrongful Convictions Reader
Fueled by more than 2,000 exonerations of wrongfully convicted men and women, the "innocence revolution" is shaking the criminal justice system to its core. By gathering the leading research, law, and policy analysis into one volume, The Wrongful Convictions Reader explores the core contributing factors to wrongful false confessions, witness misidentifications, cognitive bias, junk science, police and prosecutorial misconduct, and ineffective assistance of counsel.

I recommend this book as background to reporters trying to put individual cases of wrongful conviction into perspective. The instances of corrupt prosecutors, police and judges failing to act to bring speedy resolution to cases is more commonplace than one might expect.
