This book is the first Australian study, based on extensive
fieldwork, of the personal backgrounds and processes by which
juveniles get drawn into risky and violent situations that
culminate in murder. Drawing on interviews with every juvenile
under sanction of life imprisonment in the State of South Australia
(2015-2019), it investigates links in the chain of events that led
to the lethal violence that probably would have been broken had
there been appropriate intervention. Specifically, the book asks
whether the existing criminal justice frame is the appropriate way
to deal with children who commit grave acts. The extent to which
prison facilitates and/or inhibits the mental, emotional, and
social development of juvenile 'lifers' is a critical issue. Most -
if not all - will be released at some point, with key issues of
risk (public protection) and rehabilitation (probability of
desistance) coming sharply to the fore. In addition, this book is
also the first to capture how significant others including mothers,
fathers, grandparents, and siblings are affected when children kill
and the level of commitment these relatives have towards supporting
the prisoner in his or her quest to build a positive future.
Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to
students and scholars of criminology, sociology, andpenology;
practitioners working in social policy; and all those interested in
the lives and backgrounds of juvenile offenders.
