Never judge a book by it's cover! I was hoping this was going to be a salacious look at cases of kids who kill, but what I got was o much more-and I'm really rather glad, Ewing's book is a look at why kids kill. This is a well researched, well thought out look at what leads oung people to resort to the ultimate in violence. This also looks at the court decisions surrounding kids and many of the judicial rules that are now in place. A fascinating but sad read, because nothing has changed in the 30 years since this was published, and every cause that Ewing mentions is still prevalent and steadily getting worse.
