This book contains the stories of thirteen of the 103 juvenile inmates the author researched, who were serving time for committing murder and homicide.
The author's doctoral dissertation became the framework for "Jack & Jill, Why They Kill." This book has been described on CNN as the "smart answer for today's troubled times." The book has literally catapulted the author onto the top morning television programs and has earned him several guest spots on "Good Morning, America"; "NBC Today Show"; "MSNBC Live"; "CNN TalkBack": "O'Reilly Factor"; "Debra Duncan"; "ABC News"; "CBS Eyewitness News"; and on some 200 radio stations.
