Publisher's Synopsis
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.
