Riassunto
What, James A. Tyner asks, separates the murder of a runaway youth from the death of a father denied a bone-marrow transplant because of budget cuts? Moving beyond our culture's reductive emphasis on whether a given act of violence that results in a person's death is intentional - and may therefore count as murder - Tyner interrogates the broader forces that produce violence.
