The Jack-Roller: A Delinquent Boy's Own Story (Phoenix Books)

by Howard S. Becker (Author), Clifford R. R. Shaw (Author), Ernest W. Burgess (Editor)

Synopsis

Vivid, authentic, this is the autobiography of a delinquent-his experiences, influences, attitudes, and values. The Jack-Roller helped to establish the life-history or own story as an important instrument of sociological research. The book remains as relevant today to the study and treatment of juvenile delinquency and maladjustment as it was when originally published in 1930.
