This new and important title explores one of the most contentious
and sensitive topics in criminal justice: the release and
resettlement of life-sentenced offenders. Life after Life
Imprisonment provides an in-depth analysis of the post-prison
experiences of 138 discretionary life-sentenced offenders, all of
whom were released from prison across England and Wales during the
mid-1990s. Using accessible and engaging data the book examines key
legal developments within the criminal justice system for
discretionary life-sentenced offenders, explores the frontline
experiences of criminal justice practitioners charged with the
responsibility of supervising life-sentenced offenders and analyses
the 'stories' or life narratives of a group of individuals who have
committed some of the most serious crimes. The book also examines
the process of recall for life-sentenced prisoners and explores key
factors associated with failure in the community. This work
therefore contributes to a variety of different areas of
theoretical concern to legal scholars and criminologists as well as
to applied areas of interest to practitioners in the field.
Significantly, the book offers a major insight into how societies
respond to serious crimes and identifies important elements of
successful reintegration for released life-sentenced offenders.
