Youth justice has become an increasingly important part of the criminal justice system, and has faced a wide range of challenges in the last few years. Practice within the youth justice system has become increasingly professionalized, with important roles being played locally by Youth Offending Teams and custodial establishments, and centrally by the Youth Justice Board (YJB).

With only a short time to live, Foran s has been a lone voice against the establishment for 40 years before suppressed evidence emerged to prove his innocence. After two false convictions and spending over 19 years locked up for crimes he did not commit, Foran s second conviction was quashed in 2013 but, alarmingly, compensation was refused and is still being fought for.

This corruption became endemic right to the top of the Force and into heart of the justice system until Lord Justice Leveson ordered the disbandment of the Squad. The events are written in candid detail and reveal disturbing evidence of corruption at the highest level.

The sounds treachery, rape, and murder echo within the walls of the renowned plantation known as Primrose Hill in post civil war Virginia. After the death of her father, Caroline Cummings, the last member of the illustrious Primrose family, finds herself solely responsible for the running of the slave-less and impoverished estate. In a society where women have few legal rights, she must maneuver skillfully against Yankee interests as well as her own plotting husband. His conniving to gain control of her property almost succeeds. Aid comes finally in the hiring of a strangely- compelling gardener who shows her a new way of fighting to keep what’s hers. Filled with intrigue, romance, and courage, this story is well-stocked with colorful characters, each with a unique slant on life and love.
