Sexual Delinquency: The Persistence of a Double Standard

Conway, Allan; Bogdan, Carol

Crime and Delinquency, 23, 2, 131-135, Apr 77

A 10-year comparison of New York State Family Court records examines the differences in the way courts adjudicate adolescent delinquents according to sex and offense. Attention is called to the improbability of altering adolescent behavior in any positive way through the punitive and highly moralistic means now employed. (Author)
