Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The outcome of juvenile delinquency has long puzzled social scientists and criminologists. Attempts to understand or predict the behavior have faced difficulty due to the lack of systematic observation and data categorization. This book remedies this by introducing a scale for grading neighborhood conditions, a metric intended to furnish supplementary material to intelligence measurements, health surveys, and family history. It stands as a companion to the Whittier Scale for Grading Home Conditions. Neighborhoods are graded on five criteria: neatness, sanitation, and improvements; playground facilities; institutions and establishments; social status of residents; and the average grade of homes. The author provides samples of data descriptive of neighborhood conditions for each item. The book includes a discussion on the reliability of grading, a section on the neighborhoods of delinquent boys and another on the neighborhoods of non-delinquent children. It concludes with a summary of the findings and an encapsulation of the book's insights on its main subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332193165_0
