Description
The Knife Went In: A Prison Doctor's View of Britain by Theodore Dalrymple As a prison doctor, psychiatrist and court expert, Theodore Dalrymple has spent over a quarter of a century treating and examining many more murderers than most. His unique perspective on modern crime is rooted in his personal encounters with the underclass, which he shares in this thought-provoking book. Dalrymple delves into what has changed and what remains the same in the world of murder over time, exposing the darker side of our culture. With a mix of humour, horror and insight, he reveals the corrosive effects of sentimentality and the cult of denial that often accompanies it. This is a clear-eyed look at modern society, stripped of varnish. Through his experiences, Dalrymple offers a revealing portrait of contemporary crime, one that is both unsettling and thought-provoking.
