Police and Prosecutorial Misconduct

Unfortunately, as with anything human beings partake in, errors occur and innocent people sometimes fall victim to wrongful accusations. It is not that police want to lock up innocent people—that is far from the truth. But authorities in any society are only human, and mistakes are bound to happen.
When mistakes are admitted and errors are corrected, these mistakes can be learned from and forgiven. Unfortunately there is a much darker side to wrongful convictions. Though a vast majority of those who dedicate their lives to law enforcement are good, honest human beings, there is a small percentage who are bad seeds. You will find people like this in every facet of life. It is simply unavoidable. The sad reality is some wrongful convictions occur due to the actions of corrupt individuals.
Injustice Anywhere is working to highlight the problems that occur so that we can learn from past mistakes. Reforms must be put in motion that will minimize human error and weed out corruption.
