Yet his role in the Melbourne Gangland Wars went far beyond a handful of killings, however brutal, and had made him one of the most infamous names in Australian criminal history. The unlikely gang boss with a baby face and friendly grin had played a leading role in the savage long-running conflict that saw more than 30 gang-related murders on the streets of Melbourne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliams began serving his sentence in a high-security unit at Victoria's Barwon Prison. In October 2008 he was given access to a personal computer. Confined to a tiny cell for most of the day, and having limited contact with the outside world, the computer was a godsend. As soon as he received it, Carl began a daily correspondence with his friends and family, covering his life in jail, his thoughts and hopes for the future, and his views and opinions on everyone from barristers and judges to fellow criminals and deadly rivals. Just a year and a half later, Williams was bashed to death by a trusted friend and fellow prisoner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing his letters, \u003ci\u003eLife Sentence\u003c\/i\u003e paints a vivid picture of Carl's last eighteen months. His writing is surprising, often manipulative, frequently self-serving, and always a fascinating and revealing insight into the mind of one of Australia's most notorious criminals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'For years, others have spoken for Carl. In these letters, Carl tells his own story for the first time. It's like meeting the man behind the myth.' - Adam Shand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57487813017973,"sku":"9781760875152","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781760875152.jpg?v=1786355037"},{"product_id":"police-decision-making","title":"Police Decision-Making","description":"This book takes the topic of police decision-making, one that is so important to the everyday policing of all citizens, and examines it in depth. It does this, not just by describing the processes and mechanisms which govern decision-making, but also by considering the fundamental principles which underpin this.   The book critically explores how and why police officers make decisions, and what principles should guide those decisions in modern policing, bringing together the authors’ research, wider literature and Williams’ extensive experience of police practice. Part 1, Understanding Policing and Police Decision-making covers police legitimacy, police discretion and policing cultures. Parts 2 and 3 focus on policing in England and Wales. Part 2 introduces Frameworks of Police Decision-making covering police decision models and ethical police decision-making (focusing on the National Decision Model and Code of Ethics). Part 3, Decision-making in Practice, presents case studies on decision-making drawn from the authors’ research and analysis on: student officers, stop and search and the night-time economy.   Aimed primarily at policing students, whether prospective police officers or social science students, the book will be of interest to all those involved in working with the police.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57502106190197,"sku":"9781032235295","price":43.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57682593153397,"sku":"9781032235301","price":171.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032235295_7603da0f-782f-477d-81a9-455e2e7685e7.jpg?v=1793082494"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-carl-williams.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
