Idiot Boy

His story reveals his chaotic struggle and how he turned his life around, eventually becoming a probation officer, international speaker and author. He makes regular appearances on television and radio and is a guest lecturer in many universities and colleges, both in England and abroad. Some of his books are the core texts for students studying criminology. He is a gifted and sought after speaker on the after dinner circuit, and as a key note speaker at conferences.
