Traces the evolution of the idea that young lawbreakers - or potential lawbreakers - merit special treatment, from its conception in the early 19th-century reform school to the creation of the juvenile court in the Progressive Era. His account of the changing definitions of delinquency offers insights on dilemmas that continue in US society.
