Juvenile Delinquency in an English Middletown: International Library of Sociology O: The Sociology of Law and Criminology (International Library of Sociology)

This is Volume XI of fifteen in a series on the Sociology of Law and Criminology. First published in 1948, the local enquiry which forms the backbone of the present book may be regarded as a sequel to two other investigations: to the Home Office Enquiry into Juvenile Delinquency, undertaken at the London School of Economics, the results of which were published in 1942 under the title Young Offenders, by A. M. Carr-Saunders, H. Mannheim, and E. C. Rhodes, on the one hand, and to the Cambridge Evacuation Survey, published in 1941 under the editorship of Susan Isaacs with the co-operation of Sibyl Clement Brown and Robert H. Covering topics such as youth crime, legal aid, youth detention and the causes of criminal behaviour, titles in this set are key to any study of law and criminology and its relation to society. First published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company
