I liked this book a lot. It is a concise, thoughtful, and meticulously researched book that examines the causes and consequences of preteen homicide. It not only looks at traditional psychological factors, but expands the scope of the discussion to include moral reasoning and other sociological considerations. Geared towards a professional audience, though an educated lay person can get a lot from the book as well. A must read for anyone studying juvenile violence.

Due to the extensive changes in family structure such as the increase of single parent families, a high divorce rate, and the decline of the extended family, support systems for young children are in decline. This decline disrupts the support systems' ability to shape children's prosocial values. Because of the fear of lawsuits and limited financial resources, community services and schools no longer provide the framework needed to balance changes in the contemporary family structure. This book provides insight into voids that have created social skills affecting this young population using an integrative approach to examine the casual factors of violent behavior in preteens. It offers suggestions for alleviating some of the causative factors that have created this nationwide problem.
