Abstract
"A follow-up study was made of 207 boys who as ten-year-olds in 1948 had been the subjects of complaints to the Detroit police. Only 43 of this group had been in trouble with the police during 1950. The items recorded at the time of the first contact which proved predictive of repeating were (a) having 2 or more brothers, (b) living in an apartment or rooming house, and (c) having a reputation as a 'Peck's Bad Boy."'
