When a death is investigated by a coroner, what is the place of the family in that process? This accessibly written book develops a nuanced analysis of the contemporary inquest system in England and Wales.
Excerpts of conversations with coroners and officers offer real insights into how the role of family can be understood, how the family is perceived and how they shape the investigation into a death.
