Grand Theft Childhood: The Aftermath

A blog titled Open Education has posted a rather lengthy interview with Dr. Lawrence Kutner, one of the co-authors of Grand Theft Childhood.

In the interview he talks about how people have reacted to the findings in the book as well as talking about his feelings on Grand Theft Auto IV.

There has been a tremendous amount of interest and support from both sides of the political spectrum, ranging from Barry Lynn, a liberal radio talk show host (Culture Shocks), to Adam Thierer of the conservative think tank The Progress and Freedom Foundation. For the most part, people appreciate the nature and approach of our research and our attempts to put our and others’ findings into perspective.

The interview is definitely worth a read.
