Sociology. Nonfiction. HTML:This thought-provoking and timely book from a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist and noted child psychologist reveals the factors that often lead to explosive and shocking juvenile violence.
 
??Ethically and morally, kids are works in progress. Throw in psychopathy and you??ve got a soul that will never be complete.?
 
In this powerful, disturbing book, bestselling author and noted child psychologist Jonathan Kellerman shines a penetrating light on antisocial youth??kids who kill without remorse??asserting that ??psychopathic tendencies begin very early in life, as young as three, and they endure.? Criticizing our quick impulse to blame violent movies or a ??morally bankrupt? society, Kellerman convinces us that it is the kids themselves who need to be examined. Carefully.
 
How do children become cold-blooded killers? Kellerman warns that today??s aggressive bully is tomorrow??s Mafia don, cult leader, or genocidal dictator. Violently psychopathic youths possess an overriding need for power, control, and stimulation, and all display a complete lack of regard for the humanity of others. He examines the origins of psychopathy and the ever-shifting debate between nurture and nature, offering some controversial solutions to dealing with homicidal tendencies in children.
 
As timely as today??s headlines, more gripping than fiction, Savage Spawn is a provocative look at the links between society and biology, children and violence. Kellerman??s sobering message will remain with you long after the last page is turned.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Jo

Non-fiction portrayal into the minds of the very young with mental illness. The possibility of identifying psychopathic and sociopathic children as young as three.

This one is that I had to read the Evanovich book after. Jonathan Kellerman is a child clinical psychologist as well as best selling author and this is a description of how children are becoming twisted and nasty. Does not hold out hope for the future in how children are being raised with any hopes of improvement and I don't think any country could afford what he suggests to solve the problem. Although I don't know that countries CAN'T afford to at least consider some of the suggestions. ( )
