MARIA COLWELL . . . JASMINE BECKFORD . . . BABY P . . . EVERY TIME A CHILD DIES VIOLENTLY, THE PUBLIC REEL AT THE SUGGESTION THAT A PARENT MAY HAVE BEEN COMPLICIT IN THEIR OFFSPRING'S MURDER. THIS TIMELY STUDY SEEKS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF HOW THE PROTECTIVE INSTINCT SOMETIMES FAILS, AND WHY SOME PARENTS FATALLY HARM THEIR OWN. In Parents Who Kill, acclaimed crime writer Carol Anne Davis examines the tragic phenomena of infanticide and child murder with an objective yet compassionate eye. Case histories vary from the universal - the age-old problem of neglected or abused children growing up to batter their own babies is examined in depth - to the culturally specific, with an analysis of the religious and sexual taboos which lead to so-called honour killings . In twenty-five powerful themed chapters, Parents Who Kill examines the processes of score-settling in relationships, postnatal depression, psychosis, neglect, mercy and honour killing, along with many other homicidal triggers. The final chapter, 'Saving Lives', offers solutions and examines helpful resources.
