Publisher's Synopsis
The Jukes is a non-fiction book written by Robert Louis Dugdale in 1910. The book is a study of a family known as the Jukes, who were believed to be a notorious criminal family in upstate New York during the 19th century. Dugdale's research into the family's history and genealogy uncovered a pattern of poverty, illiteracy, and criminal behavior that had been passed down through generations. The book examines the social and economic factors that contributed to the family's situation, including poor education, lack of job opportunities, and a culture of violence and substance abuse. Dugdale's work was influential in the field of social science and helped to shape the way that researchers and policymakers viewed poverty and criminal behavior. The Jukes is considered a classic work of sociology and remains a popular reference for scholars and students of criminology and social welfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
