Beskrivning

After Homicide describes the collective responses of bereaved people to the aftermath of violent death, a subject not dealt with in any detail in the literature that is currently available. The book concentrates particularly on the birth, development and organization of the self help and campaigning groups that emerged in the last decade. The author examines these as attempts to give institutional expression to interpretations of grief, and shows us that these attemps, in their turn, are implicated in a potent phenomenology of mourning. In addition, the author had special access to a number of groups and uses the infomation that he gathered through this access to discuss the practical and political importance of the work of these groups, and their affects on policing, the media and the law.

Recensioner i media

The comprehensive footnotes and huge range of references indicate the scope and energy of Rock's work ... There is much more useful detailed information here, which could helpfully influence good practice with offenders as well as survivors ... I found this book to be a thorough guide both to the history of survivor groups and to the issues that preoccupy them, as well as a stimulus for improving my work with violent offenders.
