Summary "The Delinquent (Vol. IV, No. 5), May, 1914" by Various is a monthly periodical published by the National Prisoners’ Aid Association during the early 20th century. This publication contains various articles and reports discussing the intersection of youth, crime, and rehabilitation, shedding light on societal roles and the justice system. The themes likely revolve around reforming delinquency and the effects of societal structures on children and adults caught in cycles of crime. The content of this particular volume includes a poignant narrative by a former prisoner reflecting on the harsh realities facing troubled youths, emphasized through the depiction of a mother dragging her child along the street. It argues for preventative measures in educational systems to combat juvenile delinquency by fostering an understanding of moral choices and resistance to temptation. Additionally, the volume features articles on reform initiatives within prisons, including the implementation of probation systems, the establishment of night schools for inmates, and detailed discussions on the humane treatment and rehabilitation plans for those in the penal system. Such narratives aim to illuminate the importance of nurturing hope and guidance for both youths and adult offenders to steer them away from a life of crime.
