| book description |

Now a major new stage work 'Punch' by James Graham, at London's Young Vic theatre 1 March to 12 April 2025 â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… The Times â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… What's On Stage â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… Guardian â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… Telegraph â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… Financial Times â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜… The Stage In 2011 Jacob Dunne threw a single punch that ended another manâ€™s life. Sentenced to prison for manslaughter, he served fourteen 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 victimâ€™s parents, he managed to get his life back on track. Right From Wrong follows the course of Jacobâ€™s life, beginning on a council estate in Nottingham. Beset by problems at home and at school, Jacob drifted into drug-related gang culture, drinking heavily and fighting for fun before a fateful night changed the course of his life. Unflinching in its account of Jacobâ€™s guilt and shame, this book will reveal how Jacob used the experience to turn things around. He has been actively involved with Restorative Justice programmes including the Forgiveness Project, has reconciled with those he has hurt, has earned a first-class degree in Criminology and become a husband and father. Jacobâ€™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. Right From Wrong is a deeply humane and honest book, and an unflinching look at menâ€™s mental health and emotions at a time when our awareness of these things is of crucial importance.
