Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Juvenile Crime IT would be difficult, I think, to fix upon a more suitable place in which to discuss the problem Of juvenile crime, its causes, and its remedies, than is the building in which we find ourselves this evening a building dedicated as a memorial Of one who for SO many years was so deeply interested in all such questions. It is therefore with especial pleasure that I am able to respond to your invitation to address you here. NO heading Of newspaper paragraphs is more familiar now than that Of Increase in Juvenile Crime It is one Of the few subjects, apart from the War itself, forced most prominently upon the attention Of the public, and interest in it has probably never been more widespread. Not a few people appear to think that the decrease in adult crime as a result Of the W'ar is due°to some mysterious psychological process. There is nothing mysterious about it. What has really happened is that very large numbers Of potential criminals, and of those whose irregular ways Of living had from time to time brought them within prison walls, have found in naval or military service a healthy outlet for energies frequently misdirected before the War. The much-advertised increase in juvenile crime is equally free from mystery, though it requires far more explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Juvenile Offenders I have had occasion to point out publicly from time to time that one of the formidable problems confronting civilised communities at the close of the present century is the problem of habitual crime. It is perfectly well known to every serious student of criminal questions, both at home and abroad, that the proportion of habitual criminals in the criminal population is steadily on the increase and was never so high as it is now. In almost every official document dealing with penal administration this unsatisfactory state of things is both admitted and deplored. In France, Germany, and Italy the proportion of old offenders who come before the criminal courts is constantly growing, while in Eng land matters are just as bad. This is made perfectly clear by the report of the Committee on the Iden tification of Habitual Criminals. From a table compiled for the use of that committee it appeared that in Lancashire, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and Staffordshire about 70 per cent. Of the prisoners tried were known to have been previously convicted in Liverpool, Birmingham, and Bradford, 79 per cent.

Download or read book Juvenile Crime in Wisconsin Classic Reprint written by United States Congress Senate Justice and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Juvenile Crime in Wisconsin The Drug Abatement Program is also proof that dedicated law enforcement officers working creatively within the community can make our streets and our neighborhoods safer. Quite simply, there is reason to be hopeful. And that is why I've been working hard to enact a crime bill that substantially expands law enforcement's role and gives communities seed money for anticrime efforts. So here we are today for a number of reasons: to take a close look at promising programs, like Drug Abatement and the Gommu mity Service Corps, and make sure they are funded under the Crime Bill. To listen to the people who are on the front lines fighting and preventing juvenile crime. And to make sure that Washington knows what works in Wisconsin. If we commit ourselves to tackling the juvenile crime problem on all fronts, from all perspectives, then we are likely to succeed. Success may not come overnight, but it will come as long as peo ple like all of us here today talk to one another, tell each other what Works and, more importantly, dedicate ourselves to working together. And we should start working together by bringing up now our panel of witnesses. We are pleased to have with us today a group of individuals who dedicated themselves to tackling the crime prob lem and the problems of children. Their collective experience is very impressive, to say the least. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Half Century With Juvenile Delinquents: Or the New York House of Refuge J ne'r fifty years ago, in our city, the Society for the Prevention of Pauperism, which finally was trans formed into The Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, made its first report. Within this period the whole history of organized effort for the reformation of young criminals, and the rescue of young children from a life of crime, is included. With nearly all the move ments in this direction, both in this country and Europe, the New York House of Refuge, in which the investiga tions of the Society have been practically embodied, has been directly or indirectly connected. The best known and most honored names of the city have been associated with its establishment and progress, and it has enjoyed in their interest and efficient labors a warm and high place. But two of its original Managers are now living. The opportunity to collect personal and authentic statements in reference to its early history, out side of its documents, is nearly exhausted.

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.

This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Juvenile Delinquent and the Young Men's Christian Association Some of the ideas of the juvenile court were practiced before the actual formulation of a juvenile court law. The probation system was practiced in a limited form by some judges by the use of suspended sentences. In the state of Maine a separate children's court was established and the probation system was in use, but it was necessary to convict the child of a crime before he could be placed on probation. In some parts of Canada, sepa rate courts were held for children. In New York, some features of the juvenile court law were in use. In Chicago, probation officers were provided by a committee of women, and their ser vices were used by some of the judges without express warrant of law. The juvenile court law as we know it now, took form in Illinois in 1899. If Illinois had not acted, a juvenile court law would doubtless have come about sooner or later, for the reason that the need of special provision for these classes of children was widely felt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Youth and Crime: A Study of the Prevalence and Treatment of Delinquency Among Boys Over Juvenile-Court Age in Chicago Although the press and the popular magazines have had much to say during the last few years, as they had a hundred years ago,1 about the problem of youthful crime, accurate information has not been available in the United States. Juvenile courts have kept their records so differently that comparison of one city with another as to the amount of juvenile delinquency which comes to the attention of the court has been impossible.2 Concerning young offenders above juvenile-court age practically no information _even local in character has been compile In order to throw Some light on the extent of delinquency among oung persons, the histories of such offenders, the methods of dea ing with them, and the results obtained, the Children's Bureau undertook a study of the cases dealt with by the first court in the United States to concern itself exclusively with young people between juvenile-court age and the age of legal major ity - the boys' court branch of the Chica o munic1pa1 court, which has jurisdiction over boys 17 to 20 years 0?

The court were studied, records of the court and social agencies were consulted for a selected number of cases, and more intensive studies of a limited number of boys were made through interviews with the boys, their mothers, and other members of their families.

Download or read book Quicksands of Youth Classic Reprint written by Franklin Chase Hoyt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 258 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Safeguard Their Future: A Rational Approach to the Problems of Juvenile Delinquency in Wartime It is to help work toward an understanding and solution Of these problems that this pamphlet has been prepared. As teachers, we are especially interested in the role of the schools and their contribution to Our children in war time. But the school is only one part, though an important one, in the lives of the children. Neither the causes nor the cure for delinquency lies in the schools alone. We shall, therefore, through a typical case handled by the Bureau of Child Guidance, analyze the home and community situations which lie back of problems Of aggressive behavior and delinquency, as well as the methods of work of the Bureau Of Child Guidance. Because Our allies, entering the war before us, have had to solve similar problems, we shall present some of the methods which the British and Russians have used with proven success.

Download or read book Juvenile Delinquency in Rural New York Classic Reprint written by Kate Holladay Claghorn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Juvenile Delinquency in Rural New York The subject of juvenile delinquency almost automatically calls up a picture of tenements and city streets, where traffic and trade and play shoulder one another for room. This report is based upon its study in an opposite setting. The investigators, leaving the main crowded trail, went into country villages that were perhaps feeling the stir of a new industrial life or of an influx of city folk in search of a playground, or perhaps were holding to the old sleepy routine as small trading centers of farming districts. From these they went out to still tinier straggles of houses, clustering along a turnpike or crossroads, and then back to solitary farms far up in the hill country. Among children growing up in the isolation and comparative monotony of the countryside, they found a seepage of delinquency, as a rule little noticed and carelessly handled. AS 111 the city, it covered the range from mischief to crime. No guess is hazarded as to the amount of trouble in comparison with that caused by urban conditions. The answer could be given only through statistics, and in this field statistics are misleading. Therefore, figures are not a feature of this report. But a description is presented which makes clear the causes of rural delinquency among children and the form which it takes. One fact made evident is that degeneracy is not wholly a product of cities. Many of these country children have back of them a sorry ancestry and around them a thriftless family group, often weak in body and mind. The most dramatic instances of this are found in the children brought up in squalor and ignorance by some wretched family which has wandered into a lonely and desolate region of the hills. Not all such groups find their level in the slums; some have still the nomad instinct for solitary places. Here they strip off standards built up by the process of civilization. But in the villages also is found, here and there, the run-out stock which has re mained inert during the period of city migration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Youth Violence Senator deconcini. This hearing this morning is Sponsored by the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Juvenile Jus tice, and I am very pleased and thank you all for being here. I will go into an opening statement in just a moment, but I wanted to let the press ask some questions, if they want to, and if they do not, me. The purpose of this hearing is to solicit not only what the prob lem is, which many of us know, but to also raise the awareness of the problem of gangs and violence and use of firearms by young people in our own communities, and also to listen to what works and perhaps what has not worked, and to attempt to see what can be done not only on the local level, but what could be translated into Washington, DC, as to assistance. This is an epidemic, in my judgment. One out of five high school students now carries either a firearm, a club or a knife to school, and we have 3 million crimes of violence occurring in schools today, and that is one every 8 seconds, somebody has calculated. N 0 longer are our schools a safe haven; they are a dangerous place for our children to attend. The big question is, why has this moved to our schools and What can the communities do about them? We have some excellent programs here which we are going to talk about today, and one of them is right here at Phoenix College, the Genesis, which I plan to visit this afternoon. I welcome the press, if they want to come to that, and I am sure they would set up interviews and tours any other time, if you cannot make it today.

Download or read book Juvenile Crime Juvenile Justice written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-06-05 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.
