Book Description:

High profile miscarriages of justice have become the focus of much recent writing on criminal justice. Such literature ignores an important paradox: when justice is contested and uncertain, how can we speak meaningfully of miscarriage of justice? This book addresses this question, and finds an answer to it in the relationship between the legal construction of criminal justice, most notably that of trials and appeals, and the reporting of these in the media.
