Juvenile Youth Problems
In Soviet Sound Familiar

The Russians are having their own problems with delinquent
youth.
These problems, of course, have led to intensive official
studies.
The Soviet investigators looked into “capitalistic influ
ences,” but were unable to place the blame there.
Instead, they found 80 per cent of the delinquency cases
they looked into were connected with “parental neglect.”
These men concluded that a major cause of juvenile de
linquency in the Soviet Union today is parental “indulgence.’*
They placed heavy blame on parents who accustomed their
children to “unjustified gratification” of their desires.
The Russian investigators found that as income goes up,
the parents are more indulgent.
The overindulgence of some children, the investigators said,
in turn seemed to stimulate their classmates to demand equal
rights to indulge themselves. This put the pressure on the
non-indulgent parents to follow along with the indulgers.
The researchers noted that half the juvenile crimes were
committed at hours when the young people should have been
at home if the parents had been living up to their responsi
bilities.
The data showed that the percentage of lawbreakers among
youngsters raised in what the investigators called “incom
plete” families was 50 percent to 200 per cent greater than in
“complete” families. Jr
“Incomplete” families were homes in which there was only
one parent or in which one parent was away constantly on
prolonged trips or inactive because of a long illness. Families
in which both the father and mother worked were also
“incomplete.”
The research men decided the reason for this high percent
age of lawbreakers from “incomplete" homes was because in
these families the youngsters were not watched over
adequately.
Other findings:
• A fourth to a third of the delinquents were children of
parents who drank heavily.
• Only 10 per cent of the employed youngsters who com-i
mitted crimes while intoxicated had learned to drink after
they had begun work. Ninety per cent had learned the drink
ing habit at home from their parents.
• Constant family quarreling and fighting exist in half of
the homes which produce juvenile delinquents.
• Most juvenile delinquents neither worked or went to
school. Most of those in school were two to three years be
hind. Less than a seventh were at the proper grade level.
Do these findings sound familiar? They give no comfort to
those who argue that the cause of juvenile delinquency is in
the social system, in poverty or in a lack of opportunity.

Q—Why is the series of
rapids in the Tennessee River
given the name Muscle
Shoals?
A—The name may come
from “mussel,” a variety of
shellfish found in the region.
Some people think it refers
io the shape of the river,
which is like the muscle in a;
nan’s arm.
