Abstract
In a survey of 612 young people remanded in the London area during 1964, positive urine tests were found for amphetamine for 18 per cent of the 558 boys and 16 per cent of the 54 girls examined (Scott and Willcox, 1965). This paper presents the findings of a similar type of survey carried out in the same remand homes five years later.Keywords
