Justice, Law and Crime

CARROLL, Ivor John

CARROLL, Ivor John

Ivor John Carroll—a self-confessed ratbag—takes us on a sometimes comical and at times emotional journey through what it was to be a ‘copper’ during the 1940-50s. The array of fascinating characters with whom he worked—some loved, some hated—the continually changing states of ‘the job’, and the many and varied ‘cases’ on which he worked, are related in a frank, politically incorrect and unfiltered manner—he pulls no punches.

Deborah left Wayne after eighteen years of his violence, taking their children with her. She thought they were now free from abuse. Not so. Deborah’s books ‘Whose Life Is It Anyway?: Recognising and Surviving Domestic Violence’, ‘Whose Life Is It Anyway?: Leaving a Violent Abuser’, and Tasmanian Voices: The Family Violence Epidemic’ focus on the experiences of domestic violence across Australia.
