Mending Justice: Sentinel Event Reviews

摘要

Confidence in our nations criminal justice system rests on several core beliefs: First, that most justice work is routine, following a fairly prescribed path that renders error a rarity. Second, that in the rare instance when a mistake does occur, it is typically a clear case of negligence or misconduct, and the system readily detects and fixes it through its many separate (and characteristically adversarial) components, which backstop each other. Finally, when an error occurs, we believe that there are processes in place to make sure that type of error will never happen again.
