This is the first national study of its kind that investigates the trajectories of wrongful convictions as systems failures by examining decisions from investigation to exoneration. Wrongful conviction is a significant social and legal problem in Australia and other nations. It costs the Australian government millions in police, court and prison services and has health and psychological consequences for exonerees and their families. Expected outcomes for this project include an early warning detection tool to identify at-risk cases and overall improved accuracy in convictions. This will provide significant benefits, for criminal justice agencies, victims and accused individuals while positioning Australia as a world leader in the field.

这是第一次全国性的研究，通过审查从调查到免责的决定，调查作为系统故障的错误定罪的轨迹。在澳大利亚等国家，错误定罪是一个重大的社会和法律的问题。它花费了澳大利亚政府数百万的警察，法院和监狱服务，并对无罪者及其家人产生了健康和心理后果。该项目的预期成果包括一个早期预警检测工具，以查明风险案件，并全面提高定罪的准确性。这将为刑事司法机构、受害者和被告个人带来重大利益，同时使澳大利亚成为该领域的世界领导者。
