When Kids Kill

Kids. They know about sex, they are experimenting with drugs &, increasingly, they are committing offences & finding themselves in court. But beyond the general troublemaking & ASBOs there are kids who commit the worst possible crime: murder. Cases of child homicide are rare, but they are especially horrific & they have a profound effect on all society. Can children be inherently evil? Is evil learned, & if so, from where?
