Highly recommended insight.
David James-Smith has written an in-depth and thoroughly researched book about the killers of James Bulger. A captivating and disturbing read, asking what made these two unremarkable boys and their lifestyle and upbringing cause such misery.

In depth review of the landmark case which shaped juvenile justice
Really good, compelling book. Finished the whole book in a week. Makes you see a different perspective to the case and the impact of the media on our justice system.
