Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Psychology of Delinquency IN the following report, I have presented the material which I have gathered over a period of five years in an investigation into the psychology of inmates of Prisons and inmates of Preventive and Rescue Homes. I have compared qualities of the one group with qualities of the other, and have indicated any differences or lack of differences that seemed noteworthy. The psychopathic cases of both groups are discussed as one single class. It 'is recognized that the girls who are being trained in Rescue and Preventive Homes have not committed any crime, nor are they under detention or punishment. The cases seen in the separate investigations are compared because the girls in the voluntary Homes are often of the type who are in grave danger of breaking the law and becoming liable to imprisonment. In the summary I have been ambitious enough to suggest a constructive policy which I feel could be carried out parz' passu with the existing systems, gradually permeating the present systems and perhaps ultimately replacing them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Delinquency, Vol. 5: 1920 Associate psycho-clinician at the State Bureau of Juvenile Research Columbus, Ohio. The term moron as a name for the highest grade of feeble-mind edness is so well known that it was recently stated on the editorial page of a local newspaper that the well informed person must use the word occasionally to show that he is keeping up with the times. For years men who have been dealing with social problems have real ized that it is the moron who makes necessary a large part of their work. Just what a moron is and what should be done with him has not been until recently a difficult question to answer. Any student of social psychology will tell you very glibly that a moron is a high grade feeble-minded person with a mental age of eight to eleven years and that he should be segregated for life in an institution. This sounds simple indeed and if it were entirely true the problem would not be as complicated as it really is.

This sounds simple indeed and if it were entirely true the problem would not be as complicated as it really is. The psychologists in the army, however, have upset us completely in our thinking and we no longer feel at all confident of the sound ness of our theories as to what a moron is nor as to how organized society is to treat him. Let us see just What these army psycholog ista have discovered to upset our pre-conceived notions regarding the moron so that we in great confusion ask. When is a moron not a moron? Or When is a moron not feeble-minded In the first place they have determined for the first time in the history of mental testing intelligence levels of thousands of adults representing prob ably a fair sample of the general population of the country. The results of their tests give startling facts regarding the distribution of general intelligence. The curve of distribution in Fig. 1 shows roughly the distribution of the ratings of men in the United States Army by letter grade from A to E with C taken as the average. This is interesting as showing that the distribution of general intelli gence follows the normal curve of distribution with a slight skewing at the lower end of the curve. This skewing is probably due to the fact that a great many individuals have a lower grade of general intelligence than they would have possessed from purely hereditary causes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Individual Delinquent: A Text-Book of Diagnosis and Prognosis for All Concerned in Understanding Offenders The handling of a delinquent in any way is an important affair for society. Our findings show how vital it is that the handling should be entrusted to intelligent people, capable of understanding a human individual, and charged with a feeling of grave public duty. We see every need of insisting on this matter of understanding all along the line. It begins with parents, for they should comprehend at least the main phenomena of child life, and should guard the mental and moral sources of weal and woe. Ultimately, as many a judge has insisted, the problem of crime must hark back to parental guardianship. Unfortunately, however, cases are seen too late to educate pa rents, while of course many parents, by reason of innate defect or other circumstances, have never been educable in this matter.

Download or read book The Wayward Child written by Hannah Kent Schoff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wayward Child: A Study of the Causes of Crime The present volume assembles the results of all these investigations and experiences, and interprets and com ments on the facts presented. The book is a practical study of the facts and conditions in contemporary American life which lead the young into conflict with the institutions of society. The various suggestions for improvement which the author makes are all based on her concrete material and her actual experience in dealing with young offenders. Mrs. Schofi' should be considered as a practical rather than a theoretical stu dent of the psychology and sociology of juvenile crime, and the book will therefore appeal particularly to those who are charged with the immediate care and educa tion of the young. But it will also be of service to theoretical students, because it will furnish a body of interesting and accurate material illustrating the re sults on juvenile conduct of all the dominant forces in modern city, village and country life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education, Personality Crime: A Practical Treatise Built Up on Scientific Details, Dealing With Difficult Social Problems Science has till recently been regarded as the fad of a few, but, now that its commercial value is being appreciated, it is rising to a place of recognition. Biology and Psychology are, however, still regarded, especially by the legal profession, as essentially mythical. There are many burning questions, as education, marriage and crime, which are in a chaotic condition, the subjects of party strife; and yet there is only one way in which these difficulties can be met. That way is by bending to the laws of science, of biology, of physiology, and psychology. The questions of life, growth, and heredity concern every one, and, with a proper understanding of their merits, we can foretell and avoid many individual and social calamities. The subjects especially treated in this book are education, character formation, marriage, and crime. Personality is a large question and many cases of dual personality are recorded. They indicate a splitting up of the Ego or self or consciousness. Heredity, including our up-to-date knowledge of fertilization and germ plasm, will prove interesting to many; while Responsibility appeals to all, and merits more attention from the lawyer. Is there such a thing as Free Will? Empire building is the theme of the book, not by dislocation of industries, nor by aggressive attacks on other nations, but by accumulating our intellectual forces so as to be equal to any effort or to resist any strain. Individuals must be dealt with. It is not the political orator alone who is the builder, but also those who, "unhonoured and unsung," toil deep down in the dark quagmire of poverty and immorality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psychotherapy Hence the whole first part of this book is an ab stract discussion and its first chapters have not even any direct relation to disease. I am convinced that both physicians and ministers and all who are in prsc tical contact with these important questions ought to be brought to such painstaking and perhaps fatiguing inquiry into principles before the facts are reached. To those who seek a discussion of life facts alone, the whole first part will of course appear to be a tedious way around; they may turn directly to the second and third parts.

Download or read book Causes of Delinquency written by Travis Hirschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Causes of Delinquency, Hirschi attempts to state and test a theory of delinquency, seeing in the delinquent a person relatively free of the intimate attachments, the aspirations, and the moral beliefs that bind most people to a life within the law. In prominent alternative theories, the delinquent appears either as a frustrated striver forced into delinquency by his acceptance of the goals common to us all, or as an innocent foreigner attempting to obey the rules of a society that is not in position to make the law or define conduct as good or evil. Hirschi analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County, California, contrasting throughout the assumptions of the strain, control, and cultural deviance theories. He outlines the assumptions of these theories and discusses the logical and empirical difficulties attributed to each of them. Then draws from sources an outline of social control theory, the theory that informs the subsequent analysis and which is advocated here.Often listed as a Citation Classic, Causes of Delinquency retains its force and cogency with age. It is an important volume and a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists, criminologists, scholars and students in the area of delinquency.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crime and Criminals: Being the Jurisprudence of Crime, Medical, Biological, and Psychological Throughout this book the author takes the view that the study of crime and its causes is properly the study of criminal or anti-social action by individual offenders he denies that any science of Criminology can be founded on generalisations drawn from observations of convicted criminals en masse. This appears to me to be essentially sound. My experience and study of criminals have led me to much the same conclusion as his.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quicksands of Youth This is a book of stories telling of Youth's encounter with the law. It does not pretend to cover any particular phase of child psychology nor is it written with the slightest idea of serving as a manual on juvenile-court work in general. It merely seeks to present, in narrative form, a number of incidents from the records of our Children's Court, and to include only such comments as seem appropriate and necessary to bind these sketches together into one consecutive whole. If this little volume serves, in some slight measure, to stimulate popular interest in the problems of delinquency and neglect, if it leads to a clearer understanding of what can be done to-day to develop and elevate our citizens of to-morrow, and if it helps to suggest a possible improvement in the methods and spirit of modern justice, it will more than achieve the objects for which it has been written. All of these stories are true and all are based upon actual facts and occurrences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
