'Trew's Law' report on police criminality and wrongful convictions launched

The Guardian and Channel 4 both covered the launch of Dr Joanna Gilmore and Dr Mattia Pinto's 'Trew's Law' report on police criminality and wrongful convictions, which they co-authored with Mya Imadojemun (Racial Justice Researcher, APPEAL) who was seconded to YLS thanks to an ESRC-IAA award.

The report was launched at a packed event at Lambeth Town Hall, alongside an animation which they developed with Nifty Fox; Dr Alice Welsh was instrumental in helping to secure the funding for this creative output. The animation featured heavily on the Channel 4 News report.

It is extraordianary to see such high quality research translating into such wide-reaching public discourse; an incredible achievement, and a real testament to the value of co-production and work with non-academic specialists.
