Figure 1: Ample size? Using the DOIs, we could next get the citation counts.

We found DOIs out of studies. Interestingly, I could not, or at least it was substantially weakened. As you can also see, the association is even weaker when using medians for the citation counts instead of means. This book should be required reading for all Criminal Justice courses, across the length and breadth of this country.

The greater theme of the book deals with how individuals deal with the aftermath of cases where wrongful convictions are overturned. It makes clear that even after that seemingly overwhelming victory there are many more obstacles to overcome. As you read you are likely to be taken through a whole gamut of emotion as this Ms. Bazelon masterfully challenges the Right-Left pre-suppositions about law and order and American justice. I hope that this book will gain an even broader readership, as the focus of this - "Restorative Justice" - needs to become a social issue for our times. This is a powerful book based on some scary anecdotes, and should be read for the conversation it evokes.

The book begins by discussing the real problem of wrongful conviction, and the stories it shares are harrowing. If anyone thinks that the police always get it right, or that eyewitness testimony is always accurate, these stories should cause one to rethink these ideas. However, the author ascribes a lot of the reason to racism.

Certainly, racism plays a large role, but she would have done well to discuss some of the psychological and political aspects as well. There's obviously the political need to arrest someone, but much also runs to a psychological tendency known as "confirmation bias".

It's not like every precinct has deep logical reasoners investigating crimes - logical thinking and training in forensics is not a trait needed in police work or for being a prosecutor. Many in these professions make snap judgments in the first few minutes of a case, and then collect "evidence" to support their initial snap judgments. They can guide witnesses and interviews, ostensibly designed to determine guilt or innocence, but instead guide them to support their preconceived notions, a bias known as "confirmation bias". Confirmation bias is strong, and allows guilty men to go free and innocent men to go to prison.

Bazelon is correct when she notes that the cop may decide based on skin color that a person is guilty and conversely, may exonerate someone else for same reason , but she neglects to note the psychological biases that also play in addition to race biases. She also touches on the fact that prosecutors are essentially immune from all criminal and civil penalties for malfeasance in office, another endemic problem to the criminal justice system.

Of course, another big issue in wrongful conviction is the quality of appointed counsel. Bazelon notes a pretty common idea today - that the criminal justice system targets those without the money to fight. That public defender you are assigned has a huge caseload and almost no time to devote to the case. I knew it was bad, but didn't know how bad until Bazelon lays out the numbers in time and caseload. She then discusses the idea of "restorative justice", and it is compelling in some cases.

I had never heard of the idea, but she presents it as more beneficial to the victim than simply putting the perpetrator in prison. In fact, it becomes very clear that crimes between people are treated by prosecutors as crimes against the state, with victims getting treated as mere tools of the government in pursuing a prosecution. Even before these victims found out that police investigators steered them to the wrong suspects, you can tell the whole process was not pursued with the goal of actually healing the injury that was caused.

Of course, there are plenty of crimes for which "restorative justice" is not appropriate, but it is an interesting concept - why are crimes against a person treated as crimes against the state? Does putting the perpetrator in prison really serve to heal the victim? In some crimes, it might. But others it might not. The most compelling idea of this book is that many of the victims of the initial crime were victimized twice - first by the perpetrator who wasn't caught, and second by a criminal justice system that due to racism, confirmation bias, or just incompetence, put the wrong person in prison for the crime.

The book raises important questions, but what I don't see is a lot of clear answers.

Anecdotally, it is horrible that these people served jail time for the crimes of others, and horrible that victims had to bear the guilt of being coerced into false identification by sloppy investigators and uneducated prosecutors. What I don't see are a lot of solutions or suggestions for public policy changes. How do we address poor quality investigations?

How do we get legal advice for the poor? How do we apply restorative justice in our system?

I left the book feeling frustrated, which may have been the authors goal. Recommended reading for some insight on this serious problem in US society.
