‘Joseph is a deft deployer of suspense and nuance’ Sunday Times‘Her Honour entertains as she educates us’ Philippa Perry‘If ever I was on trial I would want my judge to be this one.’ Cherie Blair, CBE QC‘The author's wit and wisdom deserve as wide an audience as possible.’ His Honour David Radford‘An author who uses hindsight to contemplate foresight whilst generating genuine insight.’ Professor Dame Sue Black‘Her writing is characterized by analytical precision, but it is also a book of great empathy and urgency...’ TLSWhat is justice? Do our legal courts dispense it? Has our judicial process improved, for the victims, the accused and for society? What more must be done to ensure genuine justice is carried out in future?Following on the heels of her bestseller Unlawful Killings, Old Bailey judge Wendy Joseph KC skilfully reconstructs courtroom dramas affecting society’s most vulnerable, drawing on her many years’ experience as a murder trial judge, and asking the key questions of the institutions tasked to deliver what is right and fair.From the trial of a child charged with disposing of dismembered body parts, to the woman accused of killing her own husband, Joseph is utterly compelling as she sets out how our justice system works. But, as she compares these modern courtroom tales with eerily similar cases and miscarriages of justice from years ago, might the most chilling story of all be that the lessons of the past have yet to be learned?Incisive, masterfully crafted, Rough Justice illuminates the struggles of any one of us caught up in our legal system – but particularly the marginalized and the easily exploited – and grapples with the concept of ‘justice for all’ so that we might demand better...........................................................................................................Praise for Unlawful Killings:'The most exceptional book I have read in a long time.' CLARE MACKINTOSH'Absolutely superb. 5 stars' PHILIPPA PERRY, author of THE BOOK YOU WISH YOUR PARENTS HAD READ'A very rare gem. written with authority, humility and compassion. Compellingly clever and sharply honest.' PROFESSOR DAME SUE BLACK, author of ALL THAT REMAINS'Wendy Joseph's gripping account of the law at work reads like a cliffhanger.' Sunday Times'A gripping insight ... beautifully crafted ... grim tales lifted by humour and honesty.' The Times'Her writing is characterized by analytical precision, but it is also a book of great empathy and urgency... A fine book.'' TLS'Riveting, thought-provoking, and very, very entertaining. I loved it.' RODDY DOYLE'Will make you question all the fundamentals that you've come to take for granted about offenders, the crimes that they commit - especially murder - and the punishment they deserve. A page turner that will leave you wanting to know more.' EMERITUS PROFESSOR DAVID WILSON, author of MY LIFE WITH MURDERERS
