| Summary: | The authors of Measuring Delinquency set out to reconcile ′delinquency′ as measured by self reports in etiologic research, with ′delinquency′ as traditionally represented in criminal justice statistics. <p>′Measuring Delinquency reports in painful detail an attempt to reconcile two radically disparate views of the distribution of juvenile delinquency in society, each rooted in the results derived from a particular approach to measuring delinquency...The findings reported by Hindelang, Hirschi, and Weiss should be important to anyone concerned with policies regarding juvenile delinquency. The story told is a cautionary tale for anyone who relies on social research.′ -- Michigan Law Review, March 1982</p> |
