This book investigates the alarming increase in juvenile depravity in Britain and the reasons behind it. Victorian England was a time of many great changes and this book set out to explore the impact these changes were having on the nation's youth. The book was written at a time of tremendous upheaval and encapsulates the spirit of an era that would change the social fabric of the country forever. The author argues that this increase in juvenile crime was not due to poverty alone, but also to the widespread availability of alcohol. The book was controversial at the time, but its arguments have been borne out by subsequent research. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of crime and social policy in Britain, and it offers a unique insight into the Victorian underworld.

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.
