Michael Naughton

Dr. Michael Naughton (1962-) is a Senior Lecturer[1] in the School of Law and Department of Sociology at the University of Bristol (2004-).[2] He teaches in the general area of crime, justice and society, with a specialist interest in miscarriages of justice.

Dr Naughton has written extensively on issues related to miscarriages of justice and the wrongful conviction of the innocent for leading academic journals, broadsheet newspapers and is a regular contributor to public debates.

His academic publications range from the crucial issue of defining miscarriages of justice and the inclusion of all successful appeals against criminal conviction as official acknowledgments of miscarriage of justice, how miscarriages of justice should be distinguished from the wrongful conviction of the innocent, the challenges confronting prisoners maintaining innocence in their bid to make progress through the prison and parole systems and achieve their release, the need for caution in the use of DNA in criminal trials to avoid convicting the innocent, as well as the value of DNA evidence to exonerate innocent victims of wrongful conviction, the limits of the criminal appeals system and the Criminal Cases Review Commission in response to claims of innocence from alleged victims of wrongful conviction and imprisonment, and, the role and limitations of innocence projects in giving hope and practical assistance to innocent victims of wrongful conviction.

Social work

He is the founder and director of the Innocence Network UK (INUK), an organisation he established to facilitate casework and communications in the area of wrongful convictions.[3] He is also the founder and director of the University of Bristol Innocence Project, the first innocence project in the UK.[4][5] Additionally, through the INUK he has actively assisted in setting up over 30 innocence projects in UK universities and provides conferences and training materials to support and progress the work of INUK's member innocence projects.
