Unlawful Detention Maternal Attitudes of Overprotection and Rejection in Four Cases of Unlawfully Detained Children Known to the Bureau of Attendance, New York City, 1958–1959
Abstract
The structure of our society in western civilization is moving at a rapid pace, faced with multi-varied problems and foreboding complicated affairs of the state. What was unthinkable yesterday becomes today's reality. Great publicity has been given to scientific investigations regarding new inventions and ways to facilitate space travel, and rocket trips to other planets. Newspapers are filled with attempts of nations throughout the world to find ways in which to live together more peacefully with their fellow men. But, investigations into what makes men great and what makes men criminals do not often make headlines. Although great strides have been made in the last few decades in the understanding of human behavior, there is still the stark paradoxical reality to face that society has had to combat an increase in crime and juvenile delinquency. Many suggestions and recommendations have been made to stem this tide of violence. Many endeavors are still going on in how to combat emotional and social ills which strike man in particular, and society in general.
