Reviews

In Life Beyond Murder, Dan Gabriel Rusu accompanies a group of convicted murderers as they attempt to rebuild their lives after leaving prison. Searching for new tools that might aid them in the task of reconstruction, they wrestle with guilt and frustration, try to overcome the practical impediments that litter the path towards social reintegration, and look back thoughtfully at everything they’ve left behind. Ambitious, intelligent and full of honesty and pathos, this is an outstanding contribution that deserves to be widely read. Professor Simon Winlow Dan Gabriel Rusu is the most gifted young Criminologist working in the UK today, and this book shows the academy why. Emeritus Professor David Wilson Unlocking profound insights into post-homicide life, this groundbreaking book explores subjectivities within a social context, reshaping our understanding of its long-term aftermath. Essential for criminal justice professionals and graduate students, it blends criminology and psychology in a compelling narrative, documenting the complexities of rebuilding after a homicide conviction. Professor Elizabeth Yardley
