Produktbeschreibung
It is now ten years since the death of sex-offending expert and founder of the Gracewell Clinic, Ray Wyre. It is also the twenty-fifth anniversary of the main events described in this book and 40 years since newspaper girl Genette Tate 'disappeared into thin air'. Tim Tate and Charmaine Richardson (Wyre's widow) have meticulously re-visited a work out of print for a decade, adding a fresh Introduction, Preface, Index and endpiece, 'Twenty-five Years Later…'. They show how events have moved on, including the further conviction of Black for the murder of Jennifer Cardy and developments in policing methods, but criticise a continuing, possibly worse, failure to protect children from paedophiles in the internet age. They voice real concern that Ray Wyre's call to learn more about sex-offenders, their methods of operation and strategies of denial, distortion, deflection of blame and need for treatment, have gone unheeded. Ultimately, the book paints a picture of political regression.
Autorenporträt
Ray Wyre (1951-2008) was a nationally acknowledged expert in the sexual crime field. He began working with sex-offenders as a member of the Probation Service in the 1970s. From 1981 to 1986 he established a groupwork programme for sex-offenders in a top-security prison. On leaving the Probation Service he established the Clinic for Sexual Counselling, a hospital-based programme, until he founded the Gracewell Clinic and Institute in Birmingham in 1988. Ray Wyre was made a Churchill Fellow for his research in America into the treatment of both sex-offenders and their victims. He became an independent sexual crime consultant working closely with police services in profiling investigations and training police officers in interview techniques. He often appeared in court as an independent expert witness for either prosecution or defence and appeared in and acted as a consultant for many TV programmes and commentaries. He published numerous articles on sex-offenders and sex abuse and was the author of Women, Men and Rape: Working with Sex Abuse; Sexual Crime Analysis Report; and Murder Squad. He died, after suffering a stroke, in June 2008.
