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.

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

The rapid development of criminological research in this country since the organization of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, has made a place in America for this series of Criminal Science Monographs. Their publication is authorized by the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. They appear as supplements to the Journal of the Institute. We believe the present number will satisfy a real need in America.
