Graduation from Primary School to Prison

Abstract

Murder is the most serious crime that can be committed by mankind. What drives a person to take a life is a mystery that can be unsolved for years. For a child to commit a serious crime is rare, but for a child to commit a murder is even rarer. While an adult killer is assumed to be evil, a child is seen to be innocent that they would never spill blood of another. This poster will analyze why the child committed the crime, factors that drove them to do the act and the punishment they received. Whether they are victims of their environment, their own curiosity or just wanted to display their power, these children have committed some of the most chilling murders in the world. The focus will be child murders age sixteen and under at the time of the crime and in the USA only. This poster will display their unique cases and what became or will become of them.
