The Jack-Roller - A Delinquent Boy's Own Story

Vivid, authentic, this is the autobiography of a delinquent his experiences, influences, attitudes, and values. The "Jack-Roller" helped to establish the life-history or "own story" as an important instrument of sociological research. The book remains as relevant today to the study and treatment of juvenile delinquency and maladjustment as it was when originally published in 1930."
