Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Juvenile Courts and Probation
This volume is devoted to a consideration of the juvenile court and its administration. It is intended as a guide to judges, probation officers, and interested lay men. While the report is concerned with the juvenile court as it exists to-day, it may not be altogether out of place here to indicate the lines along which it is believed the court will develop.
In its treatment of the child it has fully justified itself, though it has almost wholly failed in its treatment of the adult responsible for the child's condition. Heretofore the emphasis has been placed on the child in court; with a wider conception of the law it will in the future be placed on the family in court. In short, the court will undertake to deal more effectively with the family which produces the neglected or delinquent child, who is merely a factor in the larger and more complicated problem.
