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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEric Smith (1993)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolly Harvey and Sandy Ketchum (2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerek and Alex King (2001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJosh Phillips (1998)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlyssa Bustamante (2009)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCody Posey (2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead (2010)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel Petric (2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCristian Fernandez (2011)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelinda Loveless, Laurie Tackett, Hope Rippey and Toni Lawrence (1992)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48885813674327,"sku":"9781476681191","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kids-who-murder-9781476681191","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
