Paperback. Reprint. A story of American teenage delinquency. At the time, the author's book served as an eye-opener to many who would have liked to remain aloof to the affairs of their community, covering as it did the field of child crime and vice. The author reports on gang degeneracy, schoolgirl scandals and teenage rackets. All the case histories cited are authentic, although necessarily, names, places and other identifying characteristics have been disguised. If anyone doubted the seriousness of America's delinquency problems, this book quickly dispelled the notion. The author reveals the traps and pitfalls which beset children and adolescents and shows the maladjustments which when neglected lead youth into trouble. 251pp. p/back. Browned pp. creased and worn covers (see image). Fair only.
