In 2011 Jacob Dunne threw a single punch that ended another man's life. Sentenced to prison for manslaughter, he served 14 months of a custodial sentence. On his release, he found himself homeless, unemployed and struggling to find a sense of purpose. But with the help of others, and with the encouragement of his victim's parents, he managed to get his life back on track. Unflinching in its account of Jacob's guilt and shame, Right From Wrong will reveal how Jacob used the experience to turn things around. Jacob's story is in some ways unique, but it is also reflective of the experiences of young working-class men and boys across the country. By reflecting on his story, he hopes he might help people to avoid the kind of mistakes he made. In the process he points to the societal reforms needed in order to avoid an endless cycle of criminality and hopelessness.
