      ab: The writers review the mental health literature relevant to homicidal children and adolescents. Background factors relevant to adolescent homicide risk include the witnessing of serious violence, both live and in the media, and abuse through neglect and deprivation. Such trauma can help create a morbid identity and a cognitive set that make homicide possible in certain situations. Other background factors relevant to adolescent homicide risk include learning difficulties and problems with impulse control. Chance plays a large part in deciding whether a youngster's violent act is homicide or not. Even if an adolescent is assessed as highly dangerous, it is often difficult in the present climate to offer satisfactory intervention. The writers examine issues in the prevention of violence.
