Into The Valley: Crime & Punishment
Civil legal aid lawyer Asher Emanuel’s The Valley has made waves as an extraordinary once-in-a-generation work of investigative journalism. Scrupulously pulling together two years of field research and hundreds of hours of interviews, The Valley follows three Hutt Valley men through courtrooms, prison, hospital, rehab, boarding houses and welfare offices. A sensational insight into the Aotearoa criminal justice system. In conversation with Rebecca Macfie.
Newsroom reviews The Valley as "A beautiful book, a masterpiece even", here.
