A story of violence, aggression and lawlessness: Don Fleming's Fury
is a vitrolic account of how the disintegration of our social
values and of our respect for the law is creating a culture in
which predators thrive and the innocent live in fear. Danny Laine
may come from a respectful family, but all around him temptation
lies. Danny finds it hard to resist the allure of deviance, hard to
tread a virtuous path when crime and violence seem so simple and
accessible to him. Surrounded by gang culture, overwhelmed by
poverty, turf warfare and needless brutality, the line between
right and wrong has long been blurred: Danny respects no one, but
demands that every man or woman who crosses his path reveres him.
Danny lives in a world where there are no rules, no one is obeyed,
and everyone is an easy target, ready for the taking. Fury: fact or
Fiction confronts readers with a world that lies on their own
doorsteps, a world in which feral children run riot across
Britain's cities and estates, seemingly answerable to no one, where
an ASBO is worn as a badge of honor, assault or theft merely a
right of passage. With their acute bloodlust for crime and disorder
and a warped sense of morality, they spare their many victims no
mercy. A mixture of fiction and of factual events that Fleming has
witnessed or encountered during his life; Fury: Fact and Fiction
represents the genuine sense of foreboding amongst much of
Britain's older generation who feel at the mercy of a rising tide
of youthful disrespect and social anarchy. This controversial and
hard-hitting novel recognises the current state of our nation,
giving it more than just the casual disregarding glance that our
politicians seem unable to muster. Whilst it does not make for easy
reading, in part due to it's strong language and graphic violence
but also on account of it's honesty, Fury reveals the human side of
the news headlines, revealing the fear, torment and anxiety to
which so many people are subjected to in order to preserver the
human rights of those who seem most inclined to meet out their own
brand of justice. Don Fleming's is a voice that must be heard, even
if what he says is difficult to hear.

Publicly funded legal aid has undergone rapid change in this
century. Developing from charity to large scale, publicly funded
schemes, legal aid flourished in many western countries in the
1960s and 1970s. But, during the 1980s governments began to lose
faith in publicly funded legal aid. In the 1990s major funding and
eligibility cuts have occurred in Sweden, England and Wales, the
USA, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands. To answer the need for
a better understanding of the extraordinary rise and fall of legal
aid, this book brings together contributions from the leading
international scholars in the field. Researchers from north
America, Europe and Australia examine the origins of modern legal
aid, analyse its recent rapid decline and consider its likely
future. This collection of original studies does not, however,
merely describe legal aids changing fortunes. The contributors also
apply legal and social science perspectives to analyse and theorise
about legal aid. In particular, rather than describe developments
in individual societies, the contributors compare legal aid across
societies to develop important insights including legal aids
relationship with the legal profession, welfare states and legal
families. This book will be embraced by all those interested in
legal aid.
