Finally some result on this kind of thing in the public eye - touching on a wider subject.
A bit touchy as half the population will jump on this as being "a criminal apologist" but is understanding the relationships between mental illness, developmental problems, social disorders & criminality really that much of a sore subject to accept?.
(A number of further studies showing the relationship between experiencing violence in early development & it's impact on later life/development) - ranging from the experience of violence, to childhood stress/sexual abuse all the way to the environmental factors involved in the development of the worst criminals we know today, death-row inn-mates.

Should we start to shift the focus away from current offenders & make a significant effort in reducing the likely-hood of the next generation of would be offenders turning out that way? - regardless as to how we all may feel about revenge/justice - would the best end-game be simply having a lower crime rate in the first place?.
Is the public capable of having a frank & honest discussion about the next generation of criminals society is creating today at this very instant at home (via physical/emotional & sexual abuse & neglect), or is it simply too hard for many to abandon the Daily Mail style blame & hysteria on the matter?.
