5 Wrongful Conviction Law Review 1 (2024)
Abstract
This special issue of The Wrongful Conviction Law Review features a collection of seven research papers presented at the Innocence Project’s 2023 Just Data: Advancing the Innocence Movement conference. This annual event, organized by the Innocence Project and partners in the larger Innocence Network, brings together a diverse group of scholars and advocates, including those who have been wrongfully convicted themselves, to share the latest social science, discuss emerging issues, and make connections to inform our collective work and promote new applied research. Social science research, often conducted quietly and behind the scenes, is critical to data-driven litigation and policy work in courthouses and statehouses around the world. It informs social work and public education about wrongful convictions. Rigorous, robust research is an essential tool in the mission to free innocent people, prevent future wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone.
