Annotation

This record of testimony presented to the Senate Subcommittee To Investigate Juvenile Delinquency of the Committee of the Judiciary concerns the problem of the juvenile status offender in Iowa.

Abstract

Running away, truancy, defiance of and refusal to submit to parental authority, and promiscuity are defined and treated as status offenses. This problem is viewed from the different perspectives of the Civil Liberties Union, a U.S. Senator, a judge, a law professor, a probation officer, family services representatives, the State crime commission, and program specialists. Tabular data are given, and an appendix contains additional material submitted for the record. (ERIC abstract modified)
