This work features writings by death-row inmates, family members of
victims and perpetrators, religious and political figures,
journalists, criminologists, and legal experts, along with
information on programs designed to help young people who have gone
astray. Intimate personal accounts reveal the fear and regret of
death-row inmates as well as the horror and anxiety of their loved
ones. In one moving chapter, a mother speaks candidly about the
murder of her daughter and how she feels toward the murderer.
Alternately grief-stricken and angry, she concludes that it is up
to every citizen to play a part in helping our troubled children
before they grow up to become gun-toting hoodlums. The book
advocates rehabilitation programs, a new national emphasis on
broken families and the problems of youth, child care for single
mothers, and an overhaul of the juvenile-justice system. Dicks
calls for a distinction between justice and revenge, and offers a
provocative, wrenching, yet realistic look at a problem that
threatens the future of our society.
