#CrookCounty won the 2019 @ASAnews Distinguished Scholarly Book Award. I looked at the list of former winners & was overwhelmed to be in that company. I am so grateful and honored. 🙏🏽 https://t.co/E1T6mqsiyr

In a new book about Cook County (America's wrongful-conviction capital), Brown University’s @nvancleve argues that false confessions stem from something more pernicious than shoddy law enforcement. #Chicago #CPD

What exactly are we celebrating on July 4th?

Just in: Louisiana’s Supreme Court affirms lower court’s decision vacating Jimmie “Chris” Duncan’s #wrongfulconviction. Chris spent 27 years on Louisiana’s death row for a murder he did not commit.

https://t.co/Xp9y4jYo8Y What an exciting event! Local educators gathering to discuss how to incorporate Chicago's legacy as the Wrongful Conviction capital into their curricula. @nvancleve's book "Crime Fictions" should be part of the curriculum. @AshontiFordTV

[Steven A Drizin @SDrizin]

Check out @nvancleve talking about "Crime Fictions" on ChicagoNow a few weeks ago. Her interview starts at the 26:00 mark. It's a great interview which covers Nicole's arguments about why Chicago is the "false confession" capital of the world. https://t.co/sZWlQA4E6d

[Steven A Drizin @SDrizin]

In "On the Podcast," @nvancleve talks about how her book came about and gives me a shout-out and also explains how difficult it is to do an audio-book and why it is so worthwhile. My wife loves audio books. It's time for me to get on the bandwagon too. https://t.co/AiVkBkaK7x

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

Thank you! The reviews are rolling in for CRIME FICTIONS. "A disturbing register of crimes committed by those who are supposed to shield us from crime."

[Steven A Drizin @SDrizin]

Reviews of @nvancleve "s Crime Fictions are trickling in. Here's one from @KirkusReviews that should inspire you to give it a read. https://t.co/XpBbUm29E7

[Jonathon Acosta @MrAcostruth]

Such a powerful conversation on the important distinction between studying “race” & studying “racism”! s/o one of my academic madrinas @nvancleve on her new book #CrimeFictions @BrownSociology

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback on CRIME FICTIONS!

[The Kids Who Cried Wolf: The Roscetti Case @Thunderclap7943]

@nvancleve @WBEZ @Suntimes Nicole, I love the book! You captured the spirit of the matter perfectly. This book should read by everyone with respect to those who invent "false narratives" that harm the innocent and ill effect our communities and economy. Great book!!

[Chip Mitchell @ChipMitchell1]

A man who says #Chicago #police beat him into confessing to the 1992 murder of a 7-year-old is a step closer to learning whether he’ll get a new trial. His fate hinges on the lead detective’s alleged ties to #torture at the Guantánamo detention camp. @WBEZ

[Steven A Drizin @SDrizin]

Just 2 wks b4 @nvancleve's Must Read "Crime Fictions: How Racist Lies Built a System of Mass Wrongful Convictions" is out. The book explores how police & prosecutors in Cook County scripted elaborate false confessions - fictions - to convict innocent young black men. Pre-order!

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

If we care about public safety, we should care about wrongful conviction. Behind each of these terrible injustices is a story of how police let the real killer run free.

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

Thank you to @WBEZ @Suntimes for their coverage of CRIME FICTIONS. Wrongful conviction is patterned, persistent, & the product of police technique - not a series of accidents as many assume & the Chicago police are best at making the lies behind wrongful conviction seem real.

Special thanks to the great @SDrizin for nudging me to do this book. A book that seemed more unwieldy than any other research that I have ever done....He was always there to support me, listen to my doubts/uncertainty, & provide counsel (and many archival documents).

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

NEW BOOK on PRESALE: It's here! My book, CRIME FICTIONS...the first account of mass wrongful conviction in US, indicting a system purposefully designed to ensnare Black youth in order to close cases.

[Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve @nvancleve]

If you are so inclined, please check it out, preorder and get ready to start talking about how wrongful conviction is not a set of accidents or misfires but technique weaponized against the innocent.
