Book Description
In July 2016, serial rapist Leroy Campbell was released from prison, having spent seventeen years behind bars for yet another horrific sexual offence. Just four months later, he brutally raped and murdered a stranger, Lisa Skidmore, in her own home. He subjected her to a horrendous two-hour ordeal. Weeks earlier, he had warned probation staff he felt like committing another rape. Could anyone have prevented him? Numerous professionals were involved in "rehabilitating" Campbell and all believed he was safe to roam our streets. How did he manage to fool them all? This is an important book: a compelling insight into this case which examines sentencing guidelines. It also gives case studies of other dangerous criminals who were under probation supervision, only to rape or murder again. The author, Alison Moss, was the Senior Probation Officer in Campbell's case. She describes what happened two years after the murder when the Skidmore family called upon the government, including the then Prime Minister Theresa May, to ask why Campbell was free to target Lisa. Only then was it decided that someone needed to be held to account for Lisa's murder. Eventually, the blame was placed firmly on the shoulders of one individual.
