Boys in Trouble
A Study of Adolescent Crime and its Treatment. :Author: L. Le Mesurier, O.B.E., with a Foreword and Afterword by Alexander Paterson, M.C., Commissioner of Prisons.
2nd Edition. John Murray, 3/6. The First Edition of this book was published in 1931 and the necessity for the present reprint arises, as Mr. Paterson states in his new Afterword, ” from a growing interest in the adolescent offender, and from the fact that this is still the best book on the subject.”
In a new chapter, “After Nine Years,” the Criminal Justice Bill is discussed and other changes and developments are noted which bring the book right up to date, and make it one which, now that it can be procured at such a modest price, any social worker to whom it is as yet unknown should hasten to acquire.
