Abstract

IT WAS THE AUTHORS' INTENTION TO PROVIDE AN OUTLINE FOR DIFFERENTIATING ONE SORT OF JUVENILE POPULATION FROM ANOTHER, SO THAT DIFFERENCES IN THE RATES OF INCREASE OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY CAN BE DETECTED, THEREBY ALLOWING A MORE SOPHISTICATED CAUSAL ANALYSIS. THE ARTICLE COVERS THE CORRELATION OF CLASSIFICATION WITH THE SOCIALIZATION PROCESS, THEORIES OF DELINQUENCY, AND THE DYNAMIC SOCIAL MOVEMENTS THAT CAN AFFECT A CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
