Synopsis
Explore how intellect, environment, and opportunity intersect in the study of young women. This rigorous examination compares delinquent girls with peers from college, work, and domestic service to understand intelligence and its relation to life outcomes.
This scholarly work surveys test results, methodologies, and interpretations from a 1914 study. It presents multiple group comparisons, detailing how age, education, and social setting influence measured abilities. The book emphasizes that criminal behavior does not neatly track with intellectual capacity and highlights the complexities behind labeling and diagnosing young women in the justice system.
- Learn about the four groups studied: delinquent youths, college students, evening-class learners, and domestic workers.
- See how different cognitive tests and moral judgments were used to gauge intellectual status.
- Understand how authors interpret results to challenge assumptions about feeblemindedness and delinquency.
- Review the historical context of early 20th‑century psychology, probation, and settlement work.
Ideal for readers of educational psychology, social work history, and readers seeking a window into early IQ testing and its application to delinquency.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the mental capacities of delinquent women in comparison to several other groups of women living in similar conditions but with varying levels of education and occupational demands. Building on previous research suggesting that delinquency may stem from intellectual deficiency, the author challenges this notion by comparing a group of delinquent girls to college students, members of evening settlement house clubs, and domestic workers. The results show that the delinquent group performed similarly to the group of domestic workers, indicating that intellectual deficiency is not a primary factor in delinquency. This book provides valuable insights into the complex factors contributing to delinquency and challenges the simplistic view that intellectual inferiority is a primary cause. Its findings have implications for understanding the root causes of delinquency and for developing more effective interventions.
