Rethinking miscarriages of justice: beyond the tip of the iceberg

This book, now in paperback, draws on Foucauldian theory and 'social harm' paradigms to offer a radical redefinition of miscarriages of justice from a critical perspective, challenging the dominant perception that miscarriages of justices are rare and exceptional cases of wrongful imprisonment.
