"The grim story of juvenile delinquency in America, and our "reform" schools from which seventy per cent graduate into adult crime. An investigation of state and private institutions -their brutal discipline, segregation, regimentation, over-crowding, repression, and only rarely psychiatric or recreational facilities. Also an analysis of delinquency which shows no one cause or cure - an indictment against slums, parents, juvenile courts and detention cells, community and our crime-centered mass media - radio, movies as well as comics. However, in these indictments there are many indications of methods of prevention. A must for groups dealing with children and problems of community interest." (From the Publishers).
