Porterfield a pioneering sociologist at Texas Christian University seeks to demonstrate that juvenile criminal behavior is nearly always related to parental neglect or abuse and asserts that it is the responsibility of the community to provide a surrogate: ".the community is responsible for all youth whose parents fail them and for the training and improvement of oppoortunities of parents so that they can escape failure." from jacket copy. Includes three detailed case studies and a wealth of statistical data. This copy inscribed to an "Edward Hopper" presumably not the noted painter of this period at least we can find no evidence of Hopper's involvement in a program to rehabilitate troubled youth.

1929réf. 35124New York: D. Appleton & Co 1929. Second American printing first published in London 1925; the first American printing also appeared that year. Octavo; blue cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine and front cover; dustjacket; xviii 1-619 2pp; 15 inserted leaves of photographic plates halftones; text illus. A tight Near Fine copy in the scarce dustwrapper lightly soiled overall with a few nicks to extremities Very Good to Near Fine. Very nice copy of this classic of juvenile criminal psychology. Burt achieved great eminence during his lifetime in 1946 becoming the first British psychologist to be knighted as a reward for his research. Burt's methodologies came into question after his death however and it is now widely believed he falsified much of his data particularly that relating to the inheritance of IQ. Nonetheless the current work remains compelling for both its wealth of detailed personal case studies of British delinquents and the numerous photographic portraits which though clearly staged portray genuine subjects and are classics in their genre.

1938réf. 16826Los Angeles: Warner Brothers 1938. Lithograph in two colors 21" x 16-1/2" ca 54cm x 42cm. Vertical and horizontal fold lines; mild toning to paper on verso; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. Rare odd-size promotional broadside for the 1938 Warner Brothers exploitation drama "Crime School" starring Humphrey Bogart and the Dead End Kids. In addition to stills and renderings from the film the piece includes a full plot synopsis - something not included on any of the dozens of other promotional items for the film we have inspected. Apparently produced for the New York premier in 1938 at the Astor Theatre and likely produced not by the studio but the the theatre itself as part of its promotional campaign. Conceivably intended for distribution to the press but we posit that the piece was more likely created for mailing to schools and civic organizations who would no doubt be attracted to the film's "scared straight" approach to juvenile delinquency. Not seen at auction or in commerce. Warner Brothers unknown

Otherwise good to fair condition. unknown
