The UK has more than 70 people on whole life tariffs, at incredible expense – all to appease a sense of revenge, she says.
Dr Adshead assesses the effectiveness and impact of therapeutic interventions with offenders in prisons. And she asks if the public needs to change their minds about violent perpetrators.
