Presumption of innocence in peril: a comparative critical perspective

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

"This book considers how legislatures have undermined the presumption of innocence and how courts have largely accepted it. It argues criminal law needs to return to notions of moral comfort as the basis for determining whether a person is guilty, and only impose criminal sanctions when there is sufficient, moral blame."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
