Deaths of Offenders: The Hidden Side of Justice

Providing an examination of deaths in police, prison and special-hospital custody, including on remand and in police and court custody, this volume contains papers which were originally presented at the 3rd International Conference on Deaths in Custody, held at Brunel University under the auspices of the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Delinquency. The book offers wide-ranging information from the United Kingdom and elsewhere about deaths of offenders/detainees in the community as well as in police, prison or special-hospital custody. Among the contents are professional and personal accounts by people who have been involved with such deaths through their role in the criminal-justice or judicial processes, or due to their connection with or relationship to people who have died in such circumstances.
