In After Homicide, the author explores what the families of murder victims confront as they encounter the multiple members of the criminal justice system—police officers and counselors, prosecutors and judges, and more. The author traces each step of a murder investigation and trial, and also deals with situations where no arrests are made and those where the perpetrator commits suicide at the scene of the crime. Based on extensive field research, her book is a uniquely comprehensive look at how the families of victims are helped, and sometimes hindered, by the justice system.
