Liverpool (The New Yorker)

I went to Liverpool to investigate the story behind a murder that had shocked public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic. While the media were demonizing the child murderers, no one was speaking about the social and economic decay that had set the stage for their crime. I feel the government unfairly circumscribes the civil rights of child criminals, rather than redressing the true causes of their crimes. –Sue Coe, artist statement, 1995 (published in Twentieth Annual Art and the Law Exhibition exhibition catalogue, West Publishing Corporation, 1995, p. 24)
