JUVENILE DELINQUENCY Regarding our own delinquents, who by their actions bring shame on their families and disrepute to the race, I consider the main causes to be:— (1) Free and easy upbringing and too much latitude allowed, resulting in their growing up without any decent aim in life and with no respect for authority—parental or otherwise. (2) Lack of guidance and supervision of those in the immediate post-school years. Many of
these young people leave their familiar home environment for the strange new environment of city life, where, unless suitable board and congenial work is found, some tend to drift into trouble. Fortunately most of them settle down as they get older and become good citizens. In this district quite a number who have been on probation or returned from Borstal have taken up regular employment and become completely rehabilitated.
