Loretta Loach has an extensive background in television documentaries on history, politics and current affairs, as well as a PhD in History. The most recent historical drama documentary she has worked on was Queen Victoria's Empire for Channel Four. She has appeared on Radio 4's All In the Mind and has written for the Guardian, the Observer and the New Statesman.
'Children have killed, do kill and will kill. What changes isn’t
the killing. What changes, as Loach describes eloquently, is the
way we, as adults, react to it.'
*Scotland on Sunday*
'’The Devil’s Children’ is a timely corrective to those ahistorical
commentators who seem to think juvenile crime began about 10 years
ago.'
*Sunday Herald*
'A difficult subject to tackle, Loach approaches it with
sensitivity and a recognition that this most heinous of crimes
deserves the most balanced of judgement.'
*Childright*
'It is a riveting read and provides considerable ‘food for
thought’, and could change your personal views on certain cases.
Those of us who maintain that children are not born but develop as
a result of their social circumstances will, interestingly, find
that this book comes down on both sides of the argument; intriguing
to say the least…
This book is well researched as a textbook for psychology or social
studies students, it is an absolute must.'
*Inside Time*
