Università Roma Tre

The main purpose of the activity is the acquisition of a specific knowledge, also from a practical angle, on the wrongful convictions theme. In particular, through the analysis of real cases, both from Italy and the United States, students are put in the condition to investigate: a) the factors that can lead to the miscarriages of justice; b) the institutes provided by the Italian judicial system in order to remedy the conviction of an innocent. The activity is characterized by a comparative perspective, and it is carried out within the Italy Innocence Project, coordinated by prof. Luca Luparia and part of the Innocence Network of New York.
