The Pace Criminal Justice Blog at Pace Law School recently posted an interactive map, displaying exonerations state-by-state in the United States, with further breakdown by the type of crime and the race of the wrongfully convicted.
The research for the interactive map was conducted by Pamela Perez, PhD, Professor of Biostatistics at Loma Linda University. The research, for Safer-America.com, examined the 1,450 exonerations listed on the National Registry of Exonerations as of Oct. 20, 2014.
Interested in more information about wrongful convictions? Consider one of the following titles available in the McKusick Law Library:
Wrongful Capital Convictions and the Legitimacy of the Death Penalty / Karen S. Miller
The Wrong Men: America’s Epidemic of Wrongful Death Row Convictions / Stanley Cohen
