a major piece of research ... The book is a vital contribution in shining light on a watchdog that isnt widely understood and yet goes to the heart of the integrity of our justice system. * Jon Robins, New Law Journal * This book about the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is a treasure trove of information. Lawyers who represent applicants to the CCRC may find it especially of interest, offering insights that could help their work. * Michael Zander QC, LSE *
Reasons to Doubt: Wrongful Convictions and the Criminal Case Review Commission is a careful work of scholarship ... for readers with a genuine interest in the role and impact of individual discretion in institutional decisionmaking, this book will be well worth your time. * Peter Aadoson, Canadian Law Library Review * This book is essential reading for those interested in miscarriages of justice and the ability of the CCRC to provide a remedy through investigation and referral to the CACD. Although it may not end academic criticism of the CCRC, it will at least ensure that such criticism is more empirically informed and thereby much sounder. * Richard Nobles, British Journal of Criminology * The authors' work represents a substantial contribution to the field of criminal justice scholarship by providing the first in-depth empirical examination of decision making at the CCRC, giving a unique insight into an organisation that has become subject to increasing scrutiny in the last decade. ... there is no doubt that this monograph will be of significant use to other criminal justice researchers in this field. * H. C. Greenwood, Howard Journal of Crime & Justice * Appealing against such convictions through the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which is often considered a ""last hope"", is a daunting prospect for any appellate lawyer, and Carolyn Hoyle and Mai Sato's Reason to Doubt is both an academically rigorous examination of the workings of the much-criticised and hideously underfunded body, and an invaluable guide to applicants and their lawyers to the little-known machinery of the commission. This is essential reading for anyone concerned with miscarriages of justice. * Matthew Scott, The Times [The best crime and legal books to read in the sun] * This is an important book in a number of respects. In terms of thoroughness of analysis of the subject, it is hard to find a rival. ... This book is recommended reading for those primarily concerned with criminal appeals and miscarriages of justice. * Paul Dargue, International Journal of Clinical Legal Education * This book about the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is a treasure trove of information. Lawyers who represent applicants to the CCRC may find it especially of interest, offering insights that could help their work. * Michael Zander QC, LSE * a major piece of research ... The book is a vital contribution in shining light on a watchdog that isnt widely understood and yet goes to the heart of the integrity of our justice system. * Jon Robins, New Law Journal *
