Delinquency is one of those social problem areas that calls upon
the contributions of many different disciplines. A wide variety of
social, psychological, economic, and political forces interact in
the organization and operation of agencies of delinquency
prevention and control as well as in the lives of delinquents. As a
result, research on delinquency is exceedingly complex. To
understand what is required to understand delinquency, it is
necessary to grasp all of its facets, and the contributions of each
of the forces contributing to delinquency as they relate to one
another. Measures to prevent and control delinquency constitute a
system of organizations, facilities, and practices with a great
deal of inherent conflict. Some agencies even perceive themselves
as being able to operate successfully without regard to the work of
other agencies. From the standpoint of the delinquent, a total
system is in operation, and the delinquent's experience reflects
all the conflict and lack of clarity that such a complex system
encompasses. To understand the delinquent's experience, it is
essential to explore the joint effects of the various agencies that
deal with him. The comparative study of the organization and
operations of similar agencies in different jurisdictions greatly
enhances the accuracy with which the crucial questions and
variables that affect delinquency can be identified. This study by
Stanton Wheeler and his associates about the handling of juvenile
offenders in two different police departments continues to provide
a striking contribution to understanding delinquency.
