About This Book

A careful inquiry charts the social, economic, and historical circumstances of Chicago’s Black residents, connecting disproportionate juvenile confinement and female exploitation to housing segregation, constrained employment, and educational barriers. The investigators trace local history and civic attitudes, analyze how family environment and closed opportunity channels ambitious youth back into impoverished neighborhoods, and document discrimination by employers, schools, and agencies that restrict access to skilled work. The report assesses how these structural obstacles produce discouragement, vocational dead ends, and higher risk of delinquency, and describes settlement and reform efforts aimed at improving industrial training, schooling access, and community conditions.
