OUR MOST NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS HAVE HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. UNTIL NOW... 'Emily' is a devoted single mother. 'Jack' starts a new job in a new town. 'Russell' may be falling in love.

But what if someone exposed their true identities to the families of their victims, who are desperate for revenge? Probation officer Olivia Campbell is caught in the crossfire of this unprecedented crisis - and as the hunt for the mole behind it all intensifies, so too does the search for the vigilante killers let loose by the leaks...Everyone is a suspect.

Selvom revselsesretten blev afskaffet for næsten 30 år siden, udsættes hvert femte barn i Danmark for vold i hjemmet.Nogle børn reddes ud af volden med hjælp fra familiemedlemmer eller velfærdssamfundets sikkerhedsnet, mens andre kan se frem til et liv i kriminalitets-, arbejdsløsheds- og sygdomsstatistikkerne, fordi ingen voksne greb ind.Peter Hummelgaard er selv vokset op i et hjem med vold. Takket være sin mormor og morfar gik det ham godt. Men i dag kender han som justitsminister alt til voldens omkostninger – for det enkelte menneske og for samfundet.Derfor er der brug for flere politiske indsatser. Men der er ikke mindst brug for, at vi hver især påtager os en større samfundsforpligtelse og ser og hjælper børn, der udsættes for vold, uanset hvor den opstår.Vi har som samfund lullet os ind i en forestilling om, at vold mod børn er noget meget sjældent. Det er på tide, at vi afliver den myte én gang for alle. Der er noget, vi skal tale om.

Historien om at overleve som bandmedlem og komme ud på den anden side og lede efter meningen med livet.Abud Mustafas moral og tro kan i 2014 ikke længere holde til livet som evigt voldsparat medlem af banden Brothas på Nørrebro i København. Samtidig går det op for ham, at det broderskab, som han er parat til at dø og slå ihjel for, er én stor løgn, så han forlader miljøet og går under jorden.Nu starter en livslang rejse, hvor han forsøger rette op på fortidens synder og forbrydelser og finde fred med sig selv og sine fortrydelser. Det er svært at finde en plads i den normale verden, selvom han bliver en anerkendt skuespiller, kæmper for at være en god far og mand og prøver at skabe en forretning.Han elsker stadig mange af sine tidligere "brødre", og volden er det sprog, han kender bedst. Men hvis han skal overleve som menneske, er han nødt til at søge tilbage i sit liv og finde en forklaring på den evige vrede. Han er nødt til at kæmpe for alt, hvad han har kært.

Life is a series of choices. And sometimes, those choiceslead to consequences of life-changing proportions. For Jeffrey Abramowitz,choices and consequences led to a five-year sentence in a cinder-block buildingcalled Justice. Tracing his journey that took an unexpected detour, Abramowitzgives readers an unfiltered glimpse into the realities of life in a US federalprison-the struggle to adapt, survive, and most importantly, find purposedespite deep regret and pain. This search for purpose led him to theintersection of justice, education, and workforce development and forced him toevaluate just how effective (or ineffective) the systems for reentry are. Shedding the visible shackles worn inside prison, Abramowitz faced theinvisible but tangible shackles of reintegrating into society as a convictedfelon-a challenge that fuels the ever-revolving doors of US prisons. A Matterof Time is a call for educators, criminal justice administrators, returningcitizens, legislators, and employers to recognize the innate humansusceptibility to make poor choices-and the immense capacity to learn fromthose mistakes. Having dedicated his life to empowering those within thejustice system, Abramowitz shares his path from pain and remorse to creating alife of meaning and happiness.

'Desistance' - understanding how people move away from offending - has become a significant policy focus in recent years, with desistance thinking transplanted from the adult to the youth justice system in England and Wales. This book is the first to critique this approach to justice-involved children, many of whom are yet to fully develop an identity (criminal or otherwise) from which to 'desist'. Featuring voices from academia, policy and practice, this book explores practical approaches to desistance with children in the 'Child First' context. It gives new insights into how children can be supported to move away from offending and proposes reforms to make a meaningful difference to children's lives.
