About This Book
The Delinquent Child and the Home is a study of juvenile courts in Cook County, Illinois, where the combination of a separate court and a separate place of detention for children, the abolition of fines, and a system of returning the child to his home and providing probation officers to help him there was at the time unprecedented.
