RECAPITULATION

Effective action in delinquency prevention and control will be forthcoming only to the extent to which school personnel and other workers in the community become informed concerning the meaning and implications of delinquency as a behavioral phenomenon. Youth workers must know the meaning of delinquency partially as a reflection of our culture; they must know where the delinquency problem exists locally and what it signifies to the youth- and family-serving agencies who are responsible for helping these youth and families; and, last, they must come to know, through diagnostic study, why a particular child reacts with overt-aggressive behavior to the pressures and conflicts which beset him. Those community workers who act more from subjective opinion and less from objective fact will fall into the self-deceptive role of the impractical practical worker.

It has been amply verified in the research literature that the delinquency problem cannot be solved or even relieved by the schools alone. The problem is not amenable to unitary approaches, whether by the home, school, church, police, court, clinic, playground, or institution. The task calls for the co-ordinated efforts of all community forces of which the school represents an important segment.

Any community program which aims to identify the potential delinquent at an early age, which tries to study and diagnose needs of delinquents and predelinquents, and which aims to provide treatment in accordance with individual diagnosis will get positive results. Without the full and active support of good schools such a program will reap less than a plenteous harvest for its efforts.
