Why Giving Teenage Killers a Second Chance Matters for All of Us
Omschrijving
Miller's Children is a compelling read, thoroughly researched and abundantly compassionate. This riveting work doesn't just make a case--it calls us all to a larger sense of kinship and the birth of a new inclusion. This is a rare book that gives voice to those previously unheard. It challenges us to stand with the demonized so that the demonizing stops.--Gregory J. Boyle, S.J., Founder of Homeboy Industries Should childhood criminals pay with their lives? James Garbarino has interviewed many of them years after their convictions, and in this apologetic, he argues passionately that they should not. --Thomas Grisso, Emeritus Professor, University of Massachusetts Medical School This beautifully written book is informed by an understanding human development, it's grounded in solid research findings, and it's infused with knowledge of the law. It is a much-needed work, destined to become a classic in the field. --Kathleen M. Heide, PhD, Professor of Criminology, University of South Florida, author of Understanding Parricide: When Sons and Daughters Kill Parents
