My life with murderers : behind bars with the world's most violent men / David Wilson. - London : Sphere, 2019. - 281 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
Professor David Wilson has spent his professional life working with violent men - especially men who have committed murder. Aged twenty-nine he became, at that time, the UK's youngest ever prison governor in charge of a jail and his career since then has seen him sat across a table with all sorts of killers: sometimes in a tense interview; sometimes sharing a cup of tea (or something a little stronger); sometimes looking them in the eye to tell them that they are a psychopath. Some of these men became David's friends; others would still love to kill him. 'My Life with Murderers' tells the story of David's journey from idealistic prison governor to expert criminologist and professor.
