Generally naive about their world, children are thought to be
nearly incapable of serious wrongdoing and are rarely suspects in
violent crimes. Yet, from the 1960s to the mid-90s, the U.S. saw
several waves of juvenile murders that caused widespread public
concern. The phenomenon created longstanding debates about the
sources or causes of a child killer's mindset. Some blame external
triggers like video games, rock music or pornography, while others
argue the causes are deeper issues, such as an underdeveloped brain
experiencing abuse and neglect. The quest to uncover the causes of
these crimes is ongoing, and how the American justice system should
handle these young killers remains a controversy. This book
assesses ten murder cases in modern American criminal history,
examining the minds of the children who perpetrated them. Chapters
compile decades of research on the psychology of child murderers in
hopes of creating a more coherent understanding of why kids kill.
