The Time for Atonement
by Linda Grant

An article appraising the case of child-killer Myra Hyndley who is still in prison despite completing her sentence. Grant argues that as a woman she attracts both support and victimisation by the tabloid press, and although the writer considers she is no longer a threat to society, Hyndley has never shown signs of remorse, offered an explanation, and has effectively 'forgiven herself'. The image utilises the infamous police portrait of the killer - which has effectively frozen her in time.
