Karr-Morse, Robin
Ghosts from the nursery : tracing the roots of violence Robin Karr-Morse and Meredith S. Wiley - New York Atlantic Monthly Press c1997 - 364 p.
Comment from a researcher 18/06/09 "...it was an amazing help in my research and yet so very sad"
Gives new evidence that violent behaviour is fundamentally linked to abuse and neglect in the first two years of life. Presents case histories of "children who kill" focusing specifically on Jeffrey, a nineteen-year old who sits on death row for a murder committed at age sixteen, along with recent research that shows that infancy is the stage during which the foundations for trust, empathy, conscience and lifelong learning is laid down or the predisposition to violent behaviour is "hardwired" into the brain.
