01. Miscarriages of Justice Registry
Spanning from the 1970s to present day*
The below examples are visualisations produced with our miscarriages of justice registry interface, using data that can be filtered and exported for later review.
02. Issues wikis
Our Research Wikis
The aim of the wikis is to construct a catalogue of empirical evidence relating to online justice in order to inform debate and policy in this area.
Relevant papers are shared, and are catalogued by theme (representation rates, interpreter data, guilty plea rates, outcomes for child defendants, outcomes for vulnerable defendants, equipment reliability / performance, cost / speed / efficiency, defendant behaviour, sentencing, defendant satisfaction, judicial satisfaction, client lawyer relations). You can also add any papers that we have missed using our online form.
04. Resources and information
Academic research papers, published articles and information.

You can search for cases involving specific offences or issues and find details relating to each case. The registry also contains issues wikis which provide information relating to key identified causes of miscarriages of justice. These pages are still under construction, so if there is more information you would like to see, please let us know.
This information may be helpful if you are researching miscarriages of justice or if you believe you have been convicted of an offence that you did not commit.
The database has been compiled on the basis of extensive research, however is not comprehensive and there are many wrongful convictions that are not listed here, either due to a lack of available information or because they have not been discovered yet. If you know of a case that should be added to the database please let us know using our “Add a Case” function.
