Schools and Delinquency: Where Are We Going Now?

Abstract

Until recently, the roles of public schools and training schools for delinquents were almost mutually ex clusive. Some public school personnel stereotyped training schools as the dumping ground for teenage troublemakers and psychotics. Correctional workers blamed the increasing population on the actions of the public schools. Rather than prolonging the de bate, it is time to seek solutions to the problem.
