Reviews

"""A leading expert on wrongful conviction turns her attention to the original crime victims, who frequently receive little more than a fleeting mention following the outcome of these cases. Cook provides insights into their anguish as they try to make sense of what happened, and their struggles with trauma caused by the wrongful conviction and its aftermath. This is one of those rare books that will be a must read for academics, restorative justice practitioners, and policy makers—indeed it is a book for everyone who cares about the state of justice in this country and its victims."" — Jayne Mooney, John Jay College of Criminal Justice “With this book, Cook gives voice to the original crime victims of wrongful convictions and their family members whose experiences of surviving trauma and re-traumatization are very seldom heard. Cook puts her skills as a qualitative researcher, a feminist criminologist, and a restorative justice expert, to excellent use. Shattered Justice will be a transformative work with sustaining impact.”— Elizabeth Webster, Loyola University-Chicago"
