The Child Savers: The Invention of Delinquency - Critical Issues in Crime and Society 40th Anniversary edition

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.
