Anthony M Platt

The Child Savers

The Invention of Delinquency

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presents an analytical and historical study of the juvenile justice system. Focusing on social reformers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this work argues that the 'child savers' movement was not an effort to liberate and dignify youth but, instead, a punitive and intrusive attempt to control the lives of working-class urban adolescents.
