"Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency" by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck is a detailed study of juvenile delinquency, based on a ten-year research project involving 1,000 boys in Massachusetts. The study compared delinquents with non-delinquents, examining their family backgrounds, intelligence, personality, and physical characteristics. The authors concluded that delinquents are physically muscular, temperamentally restless, and prone to delinquent behavior due to their environment. However, the book's methodology is criticized for oversimplifying the causes of delinquency, as it focuses on individual traits rather than the complex interplay of personality and social environment. The authors acknowledge this limitation but fail to fully address its implications. "Eighty-Thousand Adolescents" is a survey of youth in Birmingham, exploring their interests, work, school experiences, and future aspirations. The study, conducted by Westhill Training College, reveals a bleak picture of youth, with many disengaged from education and uncertain about their future. The book highlights the lack of enthusiasm for education and the challenges of finding suitable employment. While the study provides valuable insights, it also raises concerns about the impact of education and industrial society on youth. The book is a comprehensive resource on adolescent behavior, though it is critical of the current educational and social systems."Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency" by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck is a detailed study of juvenile delinquency, based on a ten-year research project involving 1,000 boys in Massachusetts.
