About This Book

The work examines female delinquency through case studies and sociological data, arguing that legal procedures, social customs, and sexual double standards shape the trajectories of girls labeled delinquent. It connects mental conflict, sexual shock, and blocked emotion to maladaptive behavior and reports results from clinics, courts, and correctional schools that emphasize rehabilitation over punishment. Drawing on wartime public-health interventions and psychological theory, including the concept of sublimation, it proposes preventive medical measures, changes in institutional practice, and environmental supports to understand, treat, and reintegrate young women rather than merely punish them.
