Juvenile Delinquency

Originally published in 1922, Juvenile Delinquency was written while the author was Director of the Ohio Bureau of Juvenile Research. He believed that juvenile delinquency could be prevented and therefore a large part of adult criminality could be eradicated. He states in the preface that the book does not tell you how this will be achieved: ‘It contains no cut and dried solution. But … it may help advertise the fact that there is a small body of people who think they see a ray of light in the darkness. …’. Today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1922. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
