UnSeen Victims

Unseen Victims Emma Wells – ISBN 9798389997462

With around 87,000 offenders currently housed in UK jails, there are many wives, partners and families who, like author Emma Wells, know only too well the hell that comes when a husband, partner or family member is accused of and or jailed for committing a criminal offence.

Always the unseen victims of the situation, with their lives tarnished and changed forever, Emma bravely shares her own personal experiences of when in 2016 her partner, at that time, was convicted after being accused of a serious criminal offence. Unseen Victims details her harrowing journey from first hearing the accusations, through the court process, the media intrusions, the realities of prison visiting (the author collapsed due to a panic attack on her first visit), to the countdown to her partner’s release and the minutiae of being on parole.

Also sharing the stories of 13 men and women who have found themselves in similar situations, the author stresses that the purpose of writing is not to diminish the pain and suffering of the victims of crime. Rather it has been written to educate, enlighten and assist anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation to herself.

Memory Injustice

Memory & Injustice Edited by Dr Kevin Felstead ISBN 9798873111572

Over the past thirty years, thousands of ordinary people have been accused of crimes they’ve never committed by individuals whose memories are distorted. This book documents the catastrophic impact of these false memories in the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom, which has seen families torn apart, and hundreds of innocent people imprisoned. For more than a decade Dr Kevin Felstead witnessed many of these trials first-hand whilst working for one of the country’s leading miscarriages of justice charities. His new book Memory & Injustice – Wrongful Accusations in the United Kingdom is drawn from his extensive courtroom experience and criminological research from that time. It is a must-read for parents, criminal justice practitioners, journalists, social commentators, and students of criminology, history, law, psychology, and sociology.

Accused, who? Me? CJ shaw

Accused, who? Me? CJ shaw (a survival guide for the FALSELY ACCUSED)
ISBN – 978-1-0369-3221-5 or ISBN  1036912213

A false accusation can strike like lightning—sudden, devastating, and leaving your life in ruins. One moment, everything is normal. The next, you’re under suspicion, facing police interviews, bail conditions, and a justice system that isn’t always looking for the truth.

This isn’t just a book for those already caught in the storm. It’s a handbook that should be in the hands of every man and boy over 13, because false allegations don’t discriminate. They can target anyone, anywhere, at any time. And when they do, the difference between panic and survival is knowing what to do next.

It walks you through every stage — when the whispers start, when the police come knocking, when you’re left waiting for an outcome that could change your life forever. It lays out what really happens inside the system, how to handle the legal fight, and how to survive the mental and emotional toll.

This book doesn’t sugarcoat the truth, but it gives you something far more important: the knowledge and strategies to fight back. Because in today’s world, the risk is real, and being prepared isn’t paranoia—it’s survival.

Anything but the truth

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH – THE FALSE ALLEGATION CRISIS CRIPPLING MEN TODAY
Jared Whittaker – ISBN – 9798334479357

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”

We’ve all heard this phrase countless times, echoing in courtroom dramas and blockbuster films. It’s a solemn promise, a cornerstone of justice. Yet, for those who have faced the harsh realities of divorce, financial disputes, child custody battles, and other court proceedings, the notion of truth in the legal system often seems like a cruel joke.

The author grew up believing that the law was fair, that justice was a clear line between right and wrong, upheld by judges, courts, and the police. His first family court hearing shattered that illusion. Despite having truth, facts, and evidence on his side, he found himself besieged by lies and false allegations, with no recourse. This experience isn’t unique; many have had their lives upended by baseless accusations, leading to lost jobs, broken homes, alienation from loved ones, loss of freedom, and sometimes even the loss of their life. The damage from false allegations often begins long before any police or court involvement, as this book will demonstrate.
