Book excerpt: Between 1979 and 1981, approximately 29 African-American children, teens, and young adults-mostly boys-were kidnapped and murdered. A majority of the killings shared common details. This is a true-crime thriller chronicling a city frozen in fear for two years and 28 murders of children and young people while under the vigilant eyes of a Task Force of Federal and State agents, ending with the sensational trial of Wayne B. Williams in 1982. Why were the victims murdered? Was the dog hair and fibers valid evidence in the trial of Williams? How was the unusual tri-global-shaped fiber (found on victims) traced to a manufacturer, then to a carpet-maker, then to the suspect's bedroom carpet? Was Wayne Williams the real serial killer? Was the KKK involved in the killings? The book reveals the facts, you be the Judge! With police sharp-shooters on the roof of the courthouse, a carnival-like atmosphere existed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innocent children turned ruthless murderers...Hate-filled and deeply disturbed...They kill with cold-blooded savagery... Nothing was too good for precious Katy-- sports cars, jewelry, designer clothes. Her father, a successful South Florida businessman, could not resist any of her whims. But when he tried to curb her fast-lane lifestyle, she had him shot through the head while he slept. Behind closed doors of her suburban Chicago home, Nancy Knuckles was a sadistic disciplinarian who, for years, terrorised her four children with religious fanaticism, beatings, and psychological torture, until they finally rebelled with a vengeance. After the oldest daughter strangled mom and stuffed her in a trunk, the kids partied hard, inviting their friends over for booze and rock 'n' roll. Susan Cabot was a beautiful B-movie queen and obsessive mother. Her son Tim-- born a dwarf-- was pumped full of experimental drugs extracted from cadavers to increase his height. When the ex-film star's badly beaten body was discovered in her Hollywood home, little Timmy claimed she had been killed by men using Ninja methods-- before confessing. Killer Kids is Clifford L. Linedecker's shocking true crime book of children who turn to murder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates about children’s rights not only concern those things that children have a right to have and to do but also our broader social and political community, and the moral and political status of the child within it. This book examines children’s rights and citizenship in the USA, UK and Australia and analyses the policy, law and sociology that govern the transition from childhood to adulthood. By examining existing debates on childhood citizenship, the author pursues the claim that childhood is the most heavily governed period of a liberal individual’s life, and argues that childhood is an intensely monitored period that involves a ‘politics of becoming adult’. Drawing upon case studies from the USA, the UK and Australia, this concept is used to critically analyse debates and policy concerning children’s citizenship, criminality, and sexuality. In doing so, the book seeks to uncover what informs and limits how we think about, talk about, and govern children’s rights in liberal societies. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, governance, social policy, ethics, politics of childhood and public policy.

Book excerpt: The human race spends a disproportionate amount of attention, money, and expertise in solving, trying, and reporting homicides, as compared to other social problems. The public avidly consumes accounts of real-life homicide cases, and murder fiction is more popular still. Nevertheless, we have only the most rudimentary scientific understanding of who is likely to kill whom and why. Martin Daly and Margo Wilson apply contemporary evolutionary theory to analysis of human motives and perceptions of self-interest, considering where and why individual interests conflict, using well-documented murder cases. This book attempts to understand normal social motives in murder as products of the process of evolution by natural selection. They note that the implications for psychology are many and profound, touching on such matters as parental affection and rejection, sibling rivalry, sex differences in interests and inclinations, social comparison and achievement motives, our sense of justice, lifespan developmental changes in attitudes, and the phenomenology of the self. This is the first volume of its kind to analyze homicides in the light of a theory of interpersonal conflict. Before this study, no one had compared an observed distribution of victim-killer relationships to "expected" distribution, nor asked about the patterns of killer-victim age disparities in familial killings. This evolutionary psychological approach affords a deeper view and understanding of homicidal violence.

Book excerpt: Living Among Monsters: Growing Up During the Missing and Murdered Children Ordeal is based on a true story. This book provides details about missing and murdered children in 1970s and 1980s Atlanta, Georgia. It describes what it was like as an African American kid to survive and avoid abduction in order to grow up during those deadly years. During the Jim Crow era the K.K.K. used to rule Georgia with an iron fist. After President Johnson ended the Jim Crow era in 1965, the federal affirmative action law was born. These events and others caused by the A.C.L.U. and the Civil Rights leaders may have woken up the sleeping Klans member, causing them once again act out and used their iron fists to restore the damages that the Civil Rights leaders were destroying.

Book excerpt: On February 25, 1957, the nude, badly bruised body of a young boy was found in a cardboard box in trash-strewn woods of north Philadelphia. Posters of the “Boy in the Box” soon dotted the city and police stations nationwide—to no avail. In November 1998 the remains were exhumed for DNA analysis, and the boy was reburied as “America's Unknown Child.” The Boy in the Box is the first book to examine America's most famous unsolved case of child murder—one that led to the “Stranger Danger” child safety campaign and a Law & Order episode. Written in a fast-paced style and featuring never-before-seen photos, it examines half a century of shocking and mysterious events surrounding the discovery of the body. David Stout presents a timeline interwoven with flashbacks, theories, media reports, first-hand interviews, and urban myths—taking us back to the year America lost its innocence forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a child is born there is so much potential. Even a disabled child has the potential to be somebody. But when a child is murdered there are so many dreams that will not be lived, so many places they could have gone. But then one person or many decide that the childs'¬" life has no value. Such a coward it takes to kill a child. But I am sure there is someone who they have bragged to or know they did the crime. I can only wonder how you can keep this horrific secret unless you are as much as coward as they are. And remember that the same person that killed a child may very well one day kill you as they have no regard for life. Is there not someone in the community that cares enough to make a difference and let the killer or killers pay the price for the horrible and senseless killing.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume González explores how the effects of a traumatic colonial experience are (re)presented to Latin American children today, almost two centuries after the dismantling of colonialism proper. Central to this study is the argument that the historical constraints of colonialism, neocolonialism, and postcolonialism have generated certain repeating themes and literary strategies in children’s literature throughout the Spanish-speaking Americas. From the outset of Spanish domination, fundamental tensions emerged between the colonizers and native groups that still exist to this day. Rather than a felicitous mixing of these two opposing groups, the mestizo is caught between contrasting worldviews, contending explanations of reality, and different values, beliefs, and epistemologies (that is, different ways of seeing and knowing). Postcolonial subjects experience these contending cultural beliefs and practices as a double bind, a no-win situation, in which they feel pressured by mutually exclusive expectations and imperatives. Latin American mestizos, therefore, are inevitably conflicted. Despite the vastness of the geography in question and the innumerable variations in regional histories, oral traditions, and natural settings, these contradictory demands create a pervasive dynamic that penetrates the very fabric of society, showing up intentionally or not in the stories passed from generation to generation as well as in new stories written or adapted for Spanish-speaking children. The goal of this study, therefore, is to examine a variety of children’s texts from the region to determine how national and hemispheric perceptions of reality, identity, and values are passed to the next generation. This book will appeal to scholars in the fields of Latin American literary and cultural studies, children’s literature, postcolonial studies, and comparative literature.
