USA: Soziologen besorgt über Gewalt von Teenagerinnen

At least three female teens are facing homicide charges when they should be worried about life after high school. "It's worse than we're willing to admit," said Carl Taylor, a Michigan State University sociology professor and principal investigator for the Michigan Gang Research Project.

In Wayne County, 16-year-old Ciara Hill is awaiting trial on charges that she ordered a cousin to shoot a carjacking victim with an AK47 because he'd seen her face. Also in Wayne County, Treisa J. Lyles and Ebony C. Marshall are charged in separate cases with robbery and murder. They both marked a 19th birthday awaiting trial.
