Description
Explore the roots of juvenile delinquency in this classic sociological study by Pearl Jephcott. Originally written in 1954, this Routledge publication examines the social climate that allows delinquent behavior to emerge within ordinary English society. The research focuses on individuals who could otherwise be considered normal members of their communities, looking specifically at the sub-cultures within respectable society that breed behavior officially classed as delinquent. Based on extensive research in a working-class Midlands town with a high proportion of miners, the text observes similar streets across five different areas. This work provides a detailed look at the social environments and local dynamics that influence youth behavior, making it a significant text for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences.
