Summary "The Delinquent (Vol. IV, No. 2), February, 1914" by Various is a monthly periodical published by the National Prisoners’ Aid Association that reflects the social and penal reform movements of the early 20th century. Written in this transitional period of societal attitudes towards crime and punishment, the publication examines juvenile delinquency, prison reform, and the treatment of offenders, illustrating a growing recognition of the need for compassionate and rehabilitative approaches rather than purely punitive measures. The contents of this issue explore various articles, including an in-depth study of juvenile crime in New York, highlighting the connections between children's play and their involvement in criminal activities. It discusses the societal neglect leading to criminal behavior among children who lack constructive outlets for their energy and creativity. Additionally, the publication features commentary on innovative methods in penal reform, such as indeterminate sentencing and humane treatment within the prison system, signaling a significant shift in attitudes toward rehabilitation and the challenges faced by those in authority managing prisons and reformatories. Overall, "The Delinquent" serves as a significant historical document reflecting the evolving discourse surrounding criminal justice and reform during this era.
