    An Important Book for Government Policymakers
  

*by O***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015*

James Garbarino’s new book, “Listening to Killers” offers additional insight into how abusive caregivers, parents and a toxic society create people who kill. It is astonishing that policymakers do not react in a proactive manner to what Garbarino details in this chilling but highly moving account of what makes a person become a killer. Garbarino is one of nation’s leading experts on emotional abuse and how it affects our nation’s children. Garbarino uses the metaphor of a killer as basically a scared, traumatized child living inside a scary looking man. Using an ecological perspective on human development, Garbarino offers the reader insight into how context plays an important role in human behavior – something to often overlooked in a state system which is essentially reactive to crisis instead of proactive. And what the author writes about are people at the tip of an iceberg who become killers. The silent majority live out lives of misery and suffering below the surface. As Henry David Thoreau so famously stated in his book Walden, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” He was writing about men who have been ignored, rejected, isolated, degraded, terrorized, exploited and corrupted and who often have little if any awareness that they have been mistreated. They are homeless within themselves and operate with no sense of self. This can lead to devastating consequences, the most tragic being what Garbarino writes about in Listening to Killers. To bring about change parenting and emotional literacy classes need to be taught within our public school systems where each student would earn a parenting certificate upon graduation. With each parent attaining knowledge and skills of childhood development and an understanding on how to apply those skills, the abuse of children can be greatly diminished, and this, over time, would bring an end to the structural inequality that is so prevalent in our society today. Listening to Killers is an indispensable account of how our society fails children who are most vulnerable to abuse, and the bloody price we pay for allowing it.

    Changed the Way I Think About the American Justice System
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017*

Working as a victim and child advocate, I found Garbarino's observations very challenging and enlightening. I consider myself a compassionate person by nature, but the histories of the killers outlined in this book compelled me to think of true compassion as something much more intentional than empathy. True compassion is a willingness to suspend our disbelief that we ourselves are capable of atrocities.Garbarino presents a reasoned and studied opinion that killers often have a myriad of complex social, psychological, and personal experiences that drive them to certain behaviors and beliefs. Perhaps the biggest "takeaway" for me was the understanding that the American penal system could and should do more to help both juvenile offenders and adults to work through to rehabilitation.

    If we could get our society understand how WE create killers and how WE are all to blame, we could be so more human!
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015*

Dr. Garbarino is spot-on.  I have an ACE score of 9. I can deeply relate to these young people and children who have killed.  A society concerned only with individual self-interest ...which can show no empathy for the plight of abused and abandoned children..would be well served by self-examination and a mindful contemplation of what to me is a predictable outcome of callous, and unconcerned societal neglect of our most abused and terrified children.  I see our group failings in caring for these vulnerable children to be no less abhorrent than the killings of these young people. That said, this is an absolutely excellent book. It is full of lots of very valuable information. Also this book gives us hope. Killers are made by us... we too can seek redemption and forge a peaceful world!
