From the preface: “This volume is designed especially to furnish reliable information to the delegates in attendance upon the International Prison Congress with reference to the progress of work for neglected children in the United States. The subject is studied in its concrete form, and the effort is made to give a comprehensive view of what is being undertaken in the United States for the prevention of juvenile delinquency, and, thereby, of adult delinquency. … The study in Part Three, relating to Cottage and Congregate Institutions, has been made by the Child-Helping Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, for the special benefit of boards of trustees who are contemplating the building of new institutions for children or the re-organization of old ones. It is accompanied by plans for a children’s cottage with outside sleeping porches designed by the author and executed by Robert W. Gardner, Architect, of New York City.

Presented at the fifty-first congress of the American Prison Association in 1921, this report details the practice commonly known as the "Third Degree," a means of obtaining information from persons under suspicion of crime involving a high degree of pressure applied to the accused to compel them to confess or to give evidence that the persecutor desires. The prosecuting attorneys and chiefs of police in some of the largest cities in the United States answered questionnaires regarding the practice of this interrogation. The report also looks into the possible abuses that exist in this method and potential reforms.
