THE BOYS

A powerful picture of a family without moral, material, aesthetic or imaginative resource, each of them victims of a cycle of deprivation from which they can see relief only through money and physical power.

The vicious murder of a woman is the culmination of the frustrated expression of anger by three men, who are, nonetheless, loved and cared for by their own women. This is a disturbing piece of writing which suggests that society is failing both the victims and perpetrators of crime.

The book also contains essays from Barry Kemp, a consultant clinical psychologist; barrister and feminist writer Dr Jocelynne Scutt; and criminologist Professor Paul Wilson as well as a select bibliography.

Later made into a film, the screenplay of The Boys adapted from the play by Stephen Sewell is also published by Currency Press.
