englischMedia coverage of noteworthy miscarriages of justice influences the public perception of wrongful convictions. However, what is the actual prevalence of erroneous convictions? Which types of crimes are more prone to such errors? What factors contribute to these injustices, and how can they be avoided? How frequently are wrongful convictions rectified during retrials, and what are the underlying causes for unsuccessful retrial applications?

In pursuit of answers to these and other critical inquiries, researchers from the disciplines of criminology, psychology and law examined over 500 case files pertaining to both successful and unsuccessful retrials within criminal court proceedings. This study was funded by the German Research Foundation.
