Summary

Bad Boys... is not just the story of juvenile delinquents, but of a society and culture that creates kids who feel they have nothing to lose. No bad kids; Bad parents, bad schools, and bad law. No bad seeds, just bad gardeners. Bad kids are made, not born. Bad kids do not grow out of the ground, they are carefully cultivated. You know where your kid is, but do you know what he's doing?
