Abstract
Understanding and controlling juvenile delinquency and adult crime remain elusive goals. This does not reflect disinterest of either the public, elected and appointed officials, or scholars and scientists. In the United States, as elsewhere, considerable activity pertains to preventing crime and intervening with those who commit it. At federal, state, and local levels, illegal behavior is the impetus for voluminous legislation, policymaking, and judicial deliberation as well as concentrated effort by those involved in preventive, law-enforcement, and correctional endeavors. Furthermore, criminal behavior is the object of intense study in such traditional areas of research and scholarship as psychology, sociology, political science, law, history, anthropology, and philosophy.
