520 Who are the murderers and lifers? What should we do with
them while they are in custody? What are the faults with
the present lifer arrangements? An expert analysis by two
people who have spent their professional lives dealing
with such offenders.The authors write from personal
knowledge of lifers and many years experience working
closely with them within the prison system-making
Murderers and Life Imprisonment not just a highly
authoritative account but also one containing vivid, often
compelling illustrations. There is a certain futility in
some of the present arrangements and the authors do not
shrink from making a number of suggestions for
improvements under the headings containment, treatment,
public safety and risk.The range of this major work is
wide: from an examination of 'Who Are the Lifers?'
(including a UK/USA comparison), lifer profiles, 'The
Structure of a Life Sentence' and 'The Psychology of the
Murderer', the book moves on to deal with 'Containment and
Treatment', 'Discretionary Lifer Panels' and a range of
ethical, Human Rights and associated issues. There are
special contributions by David Wilson on 'Delusions of
Innocence' and Roland Woodward on 'Lifer Risk Assessment'
(including what it is, how it is done and a critical
examination of clinical and other methods). The work is
further enhanced by case studies (anonymised) based on
actual case histories
