Synopsis
From before sentence until after release on licence, prisoners serving life sentences (5% of the prison population) present practitioners with some of their most difficult problems. Issues of risk assessment and public apprehension combine with a mass of bureaucracy and Home Office circulars to cause practitioners continuous anxiety. Offering information and advice to probation officers addressing lifers' concerns, this book is also intended for solicitors, prison staff, social workers, and lifers themselves.
