Naughton, M. (2009) (Editor) The Criminal Cases Review Commission: Hope for the Innocent?, Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.
This book is the product of the Inaugural Innocence Network UK (INUK) Symposium that was held on the 10th Anniversary of the establishment of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), 31 March 2007, University of Bristol. It brings together critical perspectives on the operations of the CCRC from victim-support workers, practitioners and academics from the UK, the United States and Canada in terms of its limitations to deal with claims of innocence. It shows how the CCRC's help to theinnocent is, at best, merely incidental.
Forewords By Michael Mansfield QC and Professor Michael Zander (Emeritus, LSE). (Both INUK Patrons).

Dr Michael Naughton reflects on the first five years of the Innocence Network UK, Joint INUK and QEB Hollis Whiteman Conference, Arundel House, July 2009.
Clip highlights the cultural failure by some pro bono lawyers working with innocence projects to understand the difference between criminal appeal work and innocence orientated work and the knock-on effects on the student caseworkers.
