Dealing with Delinquents

Originally published in 1961, when delinquency and its cure constituted one of the gravest problems facing modern society. The term ’delinquent’ had a wide meaning, and the authors define its scope for the purposes of this book. They include all, juvenile or adult, whose attitude to society may lead them into breaking the law.

William Leslie Herbert and Frederick Victor Jarvis at the time of publication had many years of experience in the Probation Service.
