After Homicide : Practical and Political Responses to Bereavement Hardback
by Paul (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, London School of Economics and Political Science) Rock
Part of the Clarendon Studies in Criminology series
Hardback
Description
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.
