Miscarriages of Justice Commission (UK)

The Miscarriages of Justice Commission in the UK investigates wrongful convictions—cases where individuals are wrongly convicted of crimes they did not commit. Its purpose is to examine how these errors occur, recommend reforms, and ensure justice is correct and fair. The commission aims to prevent future wrongful convictions by identifying flaws in legal processes, supporting affected individuals, and improving investigative and judicial procedures. It serves as a crucial oversight body dedicated to safeguarding accuracy and fairness within the justice system.
