Excerpt from The Wayward Child: A Study of the Causes of Crime The present volume assembles the results of all these investigations and experiences, and interprets and com ments on the facts presented. The book is a practical study of the facts and conditions in contemporary American life which lead the young into con ict with the institutions of society. The various suggestions for improvement which the author makes are all based on her concrete material and her actual experience in dealing with young offenders. Mrs. Schofi' should be considered as a practical rather than a theoretical stu dent of the psychology and sociology of juvenile crime, and the book will therefore appeal particularly to those who are charged with the immediate care and educa tion of the young. But it will also be of service to theoretical students, because it will furnish a body of interesting and accurate material illustrating the re sults on juvenile conduct of all the dominant forces in modern city, village and country life.
