Abstract
The tangled cause-and-effect relationship between learning problems and juvenile delinquency has inhibited empirical study of their relationship. Additionally, our greater willingness to accept the reality of LD while wishing to remain distant from the problems of JD has made empirical study difficult. The critical question is not whether the two disorders are correlated — rather it is how to distinguish the various subgroups so that appropriate assistance can be rendered. - G.M.S.Keywords
