No Truth No Justice
A heartfelt account by the mother of a young man who was killed in his cell by a dangerous fellow prisoner with whom he had been wrongly placed by the Prison Service - that was later castigated by the European Court of Human Rights. It tells of a mammoth campaign for justice and to hold the authorities to account when faced with a wall of silence and indifference. (The author, who now addresses audiences across the UK, is keen to spread her message to the USA and available to travel there for that purpose, at her own expense).

Transforming Psychology
Over the last two decades, a rich, diverse, yet sometimes contradictory body of research has been gathered under the general rubric of "psychology of women." This burgeoning literature represents several disciplines, among them psychology, psychiatry, sociology, political science, and women's studies. To bring sense to this agglomeration of views, both for the layperson and the student, the author looks at research in this area as a social process and refutes the notion that science can be objective about its search for universal truths. She asks us to reflect on how we choose among explanations of behavior, calling the need to examine the psychology of women in a social and historical context. Throughout the book, Riger reveals how interpretive frameworks shape how we perceive research findings. Her central theme suggests that social factors shape the meaning and experience of biological femaleness.
