This book was completely amazing. It is written incredibly. I think in one of the blurbs The Secret Barrister said they read it in one sitting. I'm not a barrister and didn't read it in one sitting but very very very close. I absolutely devoured it.
It is written incredibly and gives you this really unique insight into the criminal justice system. The author structures the book by doing a section for each individual case with the start being a sort "scene setting" of what happened when the crime happened and then breaking them down into chapters within that with each issue. It really is very very good and is presented in a really ethical and empathetic way.
The book obviously comes to the obvious conclusion that at the centre of all of this is victims end offenders and actually we need a whole social change to prevent crime. To prevent vulnerable young people being exploited. It actually makes the very valid point that actually The Old Bailey isn't the place where change happens. We need to be targeting young people before they've even picked up a knife - once someone has been stabbed is several degrees too late. We need to keep young people in schools and we need to make sure vulnerable young people are supported and that appropriate mental health services are accessible and available.
The book is amazing and I genuinely would recommend it to anyone and everyone
