Written in 1954 and published here for the first time, The Social
Background of Delinquency deals with the social climate in which
juvenile delinquency crops up time after time. It examines
‘bad’ behaviour among people who could otherwise be classed as
‘normal’ members of ordinary English society. It attempts to
explore certain aspects of the sub-cultures within respectable
society which appear to breed behaviour officially classed as
‘delinquent’. The research is based on a working-class town in
the Midlands with a high proportion of miners and observes a pair
of similar streets in five areas of the town. Each pair of streets
containing one delinquency-free and one with a history of trouble.
Not content with a mere survey, the research design is multifaceted
and includes ethnographic observations, key informant interviews,
personal history analyses and 'the playroom method' explicitly
designed to ascertain children's views. The findings are reported
here and represent a snapshot of life in the 1950s.
