Internally clean. A good copy. $25. * This study is a landmark randomized controlled experiment in the history of criminology. It was initiated in 1935 by Dr. Richard Clarke Cabot to evaluate the effectiveness of early intervention in preventing juvenile delinquency. The study followed over 500 underprivileged boys from Cambridge and Somerville, Massachusetts, with half receiving a "directed friendship" intervention from counselors and the other half serving as a control group. The 1951 book documents the first follow-up of the participants, which found that the program had no measurable impact on criminal offending three years after the intervention concluded.
