Michael Naughton

Dr. Michael Naughton is a prominent academic and advocate for criminal justice reform in the UK, best known for founding the Bristol University Innocence Project in 2004. With a background in sociology and law, he has tirelessly fought against miscarriages of justice and sought to raise awareness of wrongful convictions, arguing that such injustices are systemic rather than isolated incidents. His project inspired a wave of similar initiatives across the UK, although it faced significant challenges and internal conflicts over the years, ultimately leading to its disbandment.
