Publisher's Synopsis
Experimental Sociology, Descriptive and Analytical: Delinquents is a book written by Frances A. Kellor in 1901. The book is a study of delinquent behavior and its causes, using a combination of descriptive and analytical methods. Kellor was a pioneering sociologist who believed in the importance of empirical research in understanding social issues. In this book, she presents the results of a study of delinquents in New York City, focusing on their backgrounds, family situations, and social environments. She also discusses the various theories of delinquency that were popular at the time, and evaluates their usefulness in explaining the behavior of the subjects in her study. The book is an important contribution to the field of sociology, and remains relevant today as a classic example of empirical research in the social sciences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
