A Parallel Universe 2nd Edition - Six New Chapters: Not Science Fiction But économies

A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

NOT SCIENCE FICTION

BUT YOU MAY WISH IT WERE

2nd Edition - Six New Chapters

Here is a unique bringing together of non-fiction (the lawyers perspective) and fiction (the writers view) on a topic of devastating concern to victims and the accused. Alex Landon (the lawyer) and Elaine Halleck (the writer) explore a particularly difficult topic, the effect of laws enacted in the aftermath of brutal child abductions and murders on those accused of lesser sexual crimes or those falsely accused and on society as a whole.

"While Elaine Hallecks portion of the tale shows how policies of the criminal justice system might exile one person from any sustaining contact with his community and from any protection by civilizing principles that have evolved over the centuries, Alex Landons non-fiction sections show how these policies have had severe effects on many other people and on the community at large. The ruinous expense of such policies is an important point in many of Landons chapters."
