Title: "Counting Exonerations: Using the National Registry of Exonerations"
Date/Time: June 10, 12-12:30pm ET
Register here!
Abstract: Wrongful convictions are considered among the most catastrophic errors in legal systems, yet statistical research on them is challenging. One increasingly important information source in this area is exoneration registries, which have now been launched in several nations and regions. This talk will focus on the largest and oldest of these, the (United States) National Registry of Exonerations, an online archive of all known exonerations in the U.S. The talk will offer a brief overview of the Registry and the concept of exoneration and explore both the opportunities and the challenges of using the Registry as an information source.
