The Duty To Charge In Police Use Of Excessive Force Cases, Rebecca Roiphe Jan 2017

The Duty To Charge In Police Use Of Excessive Force Cases, Rebecca Roiphe

Articles & Chapters

Responding to the problems of mass incarceration, racial disparities in justice, and wrongful convictions, scholars have focused on prosecutorial overcharging.
