From AwardWinning Sociologist Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve Comes The First Account Of Mass Wrongful Conviction In America, Indicting A System Purposefully Designed To Ensnare Black Youth In Order To Close Caseswrongful Convictions Have Long Been Dismissed As Rare Exceptions To An Otherwise WellOiled Criminal Justice Machine. But, After Years Spent Investigating The Largest Criminal Courthouse In The Nation, ChicagoS Cook County, Dr. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve Began To Uncover A Far More Chilling Truth. Wrongful Convictions Are Not Accidental, Nor Anomalous: There Are At Least Hundreds Of Cases Indicting Innocent Black Youth Of Crimes They DidnT Commit. Arresting And Incarcerating Kids Is The PointThe Evidence Is Tailored To Fit.In A Suspenseful Narrative Account Based On Years Of Interviews, Archival Research, And The Excavation Of Hidden Documents, Gonzalez Van Cleve Presents An Ironclad Howdunit, Illustrating The Steps That Our Supposed System Of Justice Takes To Find Criminals, Coerce Confessions, And Bury Evidence.A Clear Pattern Emerges As Lee Hester, A Disabled FourteenYearOld Boy, Is Branded A Super Predator And Convicted Of Killing His Teacher. At Just Seven Years Old, Romarr Gipson Is Charged With A Murder That Is Physically Impossible For Him To Commit. Groups Of Boys Like The Roscetti Four And Dixmoor Five Are Characterized As Wolf Packs In A Pattern That Connects Them To The Central Park Five. These Crime Fictions Are Actively Produced, Perfected By Police, Enshrined In Our Legal Records By The Courts, And Reinforced By The Media.Placing The Exonerated Boys At The Center Of Their Own Story, Crime Fictions Is A Devastating, Systemic Account That Leaves Us To Wonder Just How Many Innocent Souls Have Been Claimed By The Racist Lies Police Tell.
