Synopsis

A hard-hitting look at how society handles its youngest citizens and where real reform is needed. This book asks tough questions and offers grounded analysis you can trust.

This nonfiction investigation examines juvenile delinquency, how training schools operate, and the consequences of harsh discipline. It blends reporting with discussion of psychiatric insights, public policy, and cultural factors that shape youth outcomes.

- Learn about the problems in training schools, including debates over corporal punishment and the search for humane, effective treatment.
- Explore how private and public programs differ, and why rehabilitation may require more than just punishment.
- See how researchers, educators, and reformers view the roots of delinquency and the role of culture in crime.
- Get an overview of notable programs and ideas, from the California Youth Authority to community-based efforts, and the ideas of leaders in the field.

Ideal for readers interested in juvenile justice, social reform, and child psychology, this edition frames what has gone wrong and what changes might help children find a steadier path.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Foreword THERE are few social problems about which the public has done more hysterical wringing of hands and less intelligent thinking, more talking and less doing, than on juvenile delinquency. It is not like venereal disease, for example, which could not be successfully attacked until one could come right out and call it by name in print, on the air, and in public meetings. There has been no shy holding back on juvenile delinquency. Every adult is an expert on the subject, having once been a child; so if juvenile delinquency could be talked to death, it would have disappeared long ago. Many good speeches have been made on the subject, many good articles and books written. But there has long been need of a book on juvenile delinquency that is more than a compendium of useful knowledge on the generally accepted causes of delinquency and the tried-and-true methods of dealing with it. This is a field in which bubbles need to be pricked, theories examined and re-examined and rejected if they do not stand up under a dispassionate study, results appraised to see if they really justify claims made for them, methods and even motives questioned. It is also a field in which the grist of the mill human beings must be studied with warmth of human understanding and not merely through the eyes of cold science. In Our Rejected Children Albert Deutsch has given us such a book.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
