When nature and nurture collide

"This work examines the neuropsychological injuries suffered by seriously abused and neglected children; it seeks an explanation for why those children produce children who tend to abuse and neglect their own children and sometimes others. This is a brute social fact" ... "This book should be of interest to anyone who teaches criminal law and procedure or is involved in the administration of criminal justice, including those individuals who provide social services to the incarcerated. lt could be an assigned text in a law and psychiatry course or a criminal law or jurisprudence seminar". -- BACKCOVER.
