'Remarkable' THE TIMES
Some are harder to shake than others. There's sweet, baby-faced Stella who hurled a brick through her ex's window and threatened to cut off his... well, you get the picture. Jak, who burned down his grandfather's shed and prized model railway. And who could forget Steve who set up a complex marmite-based distillery in his cell. The moonshine wasn't for drinking though, but for cleaning. He remains, in Elizabeth's professional opinion, Britain's most fastidious murderer.
Recalling her twenty-five years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse.
Reviews / Votes
'Remarkable... startling... Baxter's goal is noble. By describing the success she had in getting ex-cons back on the straight and narrow (and keeping high-risk offenders behind bars), she wants to emphasise the value of the probation service.' -The Times 'This is the book I wish I'd written. Loved it.' -Katie Smith, former Head of Learning and Development for London Probation 'Elizabeth Baxter sheds a forensic professional light on the complexities involved in supervising those who commit crimes... but Elizabeth Baxter also reminds us of the necessity of a vital element of Probation intervention; the regular face-to-face engagement between those being supervised and "their" trained, diligent and compassionate Probation Officer -Peter Wright, former Chief Probation Officer & Probation Trust Chief ExecutiveMore details
