Par Bruce Watson. 2007

possessed guns and ammo. Watson quotes their trial record as he dramatizes questionable aspects of the proceeding, such as conflicting witnesses and a prejudicial judge.

Par Susan Wise Bauer. 2018

Par Cynthia J Faryon. 2009
David Milgaard was a kid who got into lots of trouble. Unfortunately, that made it easy for the Saskatoon police…
to brand him as a murderer. At seventeen, David was arrested, jailed, and convicted for the rape and murder of a young nursing assistant, Gail Miller.

Finally, through the incredible determination of his mother and new lawyers who believed in him, David was released and proven not guilty.

Par Kay S Hymowitz. 2017
Children seem to be growing up more quickly than ever before. Almost daily we hear astonishing examples of young people…
flying airplanes, running companies, or committing adult crimes. In this shrewd and compelling book, scholar and journalist Kay S. Hymowitz offers a startling explanation for today's sophisticated youngsters. For generations, unique American ideas of childrearing have created adults who both think independently and feel accountable to others. But the way we raise our children has been changing. During the 20th-century, experts began telling us youngsters have little need for instruction or supervision--in fact, children really are small adults who already know what is best for themselves. Senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and an affiliate scholar at the Institute for American Values, Kay S. Hymowitz reveals why so many of our children continue to act childishly when they grow up. 2017.Raw knowledge II: interviews with health achievers
