What turns them towards violence?A young man stabs an elderly woman ten times for the sake of a 450 euro debt. But why would he commit such a brutal murder over a petty sum, when he has a girlfriend and a child at home? How much could he lose when there is already so little to start with? Centring on a perpetrator and a victim who remain nameless - who are nobodies but could be anybody - Offenses unfolds as a contemporary parable exploring the biases and barriers built into the legal system.  Blending expertise in criminal law with her signature knife-edge prose, Constance Debré probes the intricacies of crime, punishment and accountability in this propulsive tale.","brand":"Profile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516116623703,"sku":"9781805221081","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/offenses-9781805221081","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
