Why Do We Kill?: The Pathology of Murder in Baltimore by Kelvin Sewell and Stephen Janis
Memoir of a Baltimore Homicide Detective
Book Review by William Hughes
“[He] was breathing when his body was doused with gasoline and set on fire. He was burned alive!” - Kelvin Sewell
How bad is the crime situation in Baltimore City? Leaving the grim statistics aside for the moment, it’s so bad that I no longer watch the local TV newscast at 11 PM! (1) Who wants to go to bed with gory images of mindless violence dancing in their heads?
The mantra is always the same from the news reader--murder, mayhem, drugs, tears, blood and outrage! The only thing that changes are the names of the victims. Some are totally innocent, such as children and teenagers who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
