"The boys who commit these acts are our sons, and if we look carefully, deeply and without prejudice, we can identify their risk factors." These risks, he writes, can be found "in alienation from positive role models, in a spiritual emptiness that spawns despair, in adolescent melodrama, in humiliation and shame, in the video culture of violent fantasy that seduces many of the emotionally vulnerable and in the gun culture that arms our society's troubled boys."
