  OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND

  John Podmore

  After twenty-five years working at the very heart of Her Majesty’s Prison Service, John Podmore came to a devastating conclusion. Prison simply does not work. The failure of the prison system is a problem that is not going to disappear. Reoffending, overcrowding and corruption must all be addressed. Out of Sight, Out of Mind is a much needed insight into the disaffected society growing in the shadows of our own – it is a call to arms that we ignore at our peril.

  CRIME

  Nick Ross

  Nick Ross proposes what is arguably the most radical re-think of crime policy since the dawn of policing. Crime challenges everything we take for granted, showing why the criminal justice system has little effect on crime rates, how policing has been hijacked to serve the needs of lawyers, and how ‘facts’ about crime are continually manipulated to serve the needs of politicians and the media.
