Lawless Youth (1947) is a book prepared under the auspices of the International Committee of the Howard League for Penal Reform during the Second World War, aiming for the day when peace could offer the opportunity for advance on the lines of justice and humanity. The authors visualised the grim reality of winning back for society the children and young men and women whom war had made rebels and outlaws, inured to violence. The chapters published here are the results of great thought, and offer the ideal for dealing with the youth of the day.
