A recent New York Times article titled “Wrongfully Convicted Often Find Their Record, Unexpunged, Haunts Them,” mentions a new research by Professor Evan Mandery, Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice at John Jay, on exonerated inmates and the outcomes for those whose criminal records have not been expunged. The study, co-authored with researcher Amy Shlosberg and contributors Valerie West, John Jay Professor of Criminal Justice, and Bennett Callaghan , will be published in The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology the week of May 13.
