Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-Teen and Teenage Killers by Carol Anne Davis
challenging
dark
informative
medium-paced

Well, this book was certainly out of date. In some places it is very progressive, but then others it is … questionable.
Some points:
- psychologists say everyone who has attempted suicide has thought of murder first. (What psychologists, I wonder.)
- pornography is actually good for young men because it can be used as an educational material. (Lol)
- “transvestites” are mostly harmless but some cross dressers are deadly serial killers (yes the book lumped “transvestites” with cross dressers without differentiating the two)
Other than that, I found the stories profiled in here very interesting. The main point is that children don’t kill for no reason, as mostly they are abused.
