While there may be youths who have been so badly victimized that they have become uncontrollably violent and must be locked up, it's a rare instance. Why should we "wait" for tragedy to step in and then spend millions to lock up the youths and throw away the key? Wouldn't it be more cost-effective and more productive for society to intervene in their lives at an earlier, more impressionable age?

Superpredators fiercely and passionately champions these littlest individuals. Elikann, in fact, adopts an optimistic note -- that the rate of youth crime will drop as long as parents, schools, and society in general instill proven policies and ethics for living and interacting into the minds and hearts of our children.
