Delinquent Boys' Attributions

To improve on the intake criteria in a day-treatment program for delinquent boys, data were collected from boys attending the program to differentiate those who seemed to be appropriately placed from those who were not. The data significantly differentiated these groups on the basis of length and degree of social maladjustment. The need for matching the type of delinquent and the treatment program was discussed.

Delinquent Boys

[In Bombay, 371 delinquent boys and girls were interviewed in order to study the various socioeconomic factors. In the majority of the cases, an adverse home environ ment played a major role. 45% of the boys and 50% of the girls had incurred loss of one or both the parents. Factors like poverty, large family size, nuclear family pattern and illiteracy had a great bearing in causing aberrant behaviour in these children. Involvement in sexual offences in the form of elopement and/or rape were observed in girls. In boys, stealing was a major reason for being in the observation home. 70% of the delinquents did not belong to proper Bombay. With rapid urbanisation, the problem of juvenile delinquency is bound to increase manifold in the next few decades}.
