REPORT ON A STUDY BASED ON CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS OF THE PSYCHOMOTOR FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS JUVENILE DELINQUENTS AND NONDELINQUENTS, DESCRIBING THE EXAMINATION PROCESS IN DETAIL AND PRESENTING CONCLUSIONS.
Abstract
IT WAS FOUND THAT THE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS OF THE PARISIAN REGION OBSERVATION CENTER, IN A NUMBER OF TESTS, TURNED OUT TO BE ON A LOWER LEVEL THAN THOSE IN THE GROUPS OF NORMAL JUVENILES IN REGARD TO PSYCHOMOTOR FUNCTION. HOWEVER, THEIR LEVEL WAS HIGHER THAN THAT OF DISTINCTLY PATHOLOGICAL GROUPS. THESE CONCLUSIONS ARE BASED ON THE AVERAGE FINDINGS FOR EACH GROUP. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, SEE NCJ-30262 AND NCJ-30276. --IN FRENCH
