Delinquency
ROM 4YA, in a short» series on The Human Mind, I heard a documentary play dealing with the Young Delinquent, and found this one of the most fascinating programmes I have heard for a long time. It dealt with the work of the school in general terms, and in particular with the case of one young delinquent, and what was done to help in his transformation into a decent citizen. The psychologist spoke, unfortunately, in a very rapid voice with the suspicion of a Scottish accent which, though pleasing to listen to, left one without some of the facts. But it was made clear that in the case of a delinquent like young Jim, whose history was presented, every possible aspect of the case is investigatedphysical, mental, and moral-and a conLLL
clusion reached only after exhaustive research and careful weighing of all the known facts. After listening to this really fine programme (a BBC production), it was heartening to remember that similar work is going on all the time here in our own country, and that the timely and difficult problem of delinquency is being tackled from many different angles. It is certainly a tough problem, but it is good to learn from experts that it is not an insuperable one.
