One Punch by Barry Dickins

It all happens in a single second, the perceived insult, the justification, the compulsion to sort someone out, teach them the lesson that they will never forget. The rest is grief and tragedy.

In One Punch writer and playwright Barry Dickins explores the lasting effects of sudden and deadly acts of violence. Talking to the families of victims takes him inside their harrowing experiences as they replay the loss of their loved one, the distress of the court system, and the perpetrators' lack of remorse.

As Barry contemplates his own youth in a loving family life, he reflects on the scourge of violence and its devastating effects. 
Fascinated with the concept of remorse, he searches for guidance among the legal profession and tries to answer the fundamental question of whether a person is ever truly sorry?
