-Caveat Lector- Dear List, Below please find information on this article. Sincerely, Neil Brick This article may be heavy for survivors. quote from http://www.valleyadvocate.com/articles/killers.html "Killers in the Making" by Alistair Highet (Please note that I do not agree with all the opinions in the article.) "In 1999, Pulitzer prize-winning author Richard Rhodes published Why They Kill: The Discoveries of a Maverick Criminologist....child abuse is a key component in what makes people violent, Rhodes says. Homicide rates in the United States are four times as high as the rest of the Western world....The critical experience is child abuse, says Rhodes. An average of five children daily are killed by their caregivers in this country, according to the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse, and a 1998 Gallup poll showed that 5 percent of American parents reported punishing their children by punching them, hitting them with a fist or with an object on a part of the body other than the bottom.... You really finally do have to say it's because people are goddamned beating their children....if a tendency toward violence was caused by genetics, you'd expect to see the same level of violence around the world, since there is so little genetic difference between races. Instead, homicide rates differ radically from culture to culture. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
