Zambia is one of the countries that has not been spared of the epidemic of wrongful convictions. This blight on justice is as a result of failure of mechanisms in the country's criminal justice system. These failures arise from prosecutorial misconduct and police excesses in form of torture, corruption, contamination of evidence, hiding of exculpatory evidence, testilying, perjury, planting of evidence among others. This book has done a comparative study of Zambia with South Africa, being a leading constitutional democracy and Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation.
