Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX Negro Youth Crime Varies With Living Conditions 20 S0CI0L0GIST JSSEATS AFTEF LN STUDYOF DELINOUENCY (S. N. 8. News Service) CHICAGO, Decec. 20.-Negro boys and girls are not naturally bad, but their behavior varies according to their living conditions, modern so-, ciologists hold. ..The delinquency rate in the Ne- Ero community varies in ratio to the distance of the area where the delinquents live from the loop.” ac-| cording to Clifford R. Shaw. dx-l' rector of reasearch sociology in the' inclined toward criminality than) the Behavior Research Institute “If! the Negroes were inherently more| incliden toward criminality than the white groups. we should not, find thc same variation between) the delinquency ratés of housing areas for the Negro groups that wel do for the other groups anda we do find the same variation.” . Backing Mr. Shaw’s opinion was farl R. Moses, director of research for the Urban League, not only in ruling out inborn racial tendencies as a possible cause of Negro de linquency rates but in throwing out the time-honored theory of "broken homes.” A few years ago the home broken by death, divorce or desertion was generally regarded as an impor tant, if not the most important. fac tor in producing bad boys and girls Conclusions reached independently and probably at the same time by Shaw and Moses put the broken home down as negligible factor. Mr. Moses. in a study of first offen ders and repeaters. found no cor relation which wculd enable stu dents to predict that a broken home would be more or less likely than an unbroken home to produce re peaters as distinct from first offen ders. Mr. Shaw's studies led him to conclude that “the rate of brok en homes among delinquents, as well as among boys in the general population, does not vary consis tently with rates of delinquents.” The first publication of these re\'n-l lutionary find¥ngs was in Vol II of the Wickersham report on the cau-‘ gs of crime, by Shaw and Henry| . McKay. Mr. Moses' conclusions ! are here published for the ﬁrst} time. { What. then, does cause the ad-‘ mittedly high rate of delinquency, in some residential areas of the Negro community? For a statement just issued by the corhngttee. spon sored by the Urban League, to seek the immediate building of a small park in the near southside, states: “Reports from the Boys' court of the Municipal court reveal that the! number of cases of Negro boys ap-l pearing in that court has increased at an alarming rate.” On the other hand. as Mr. Shaw pointed out thyee is less organized crime among Negroes than among whites, and whereas, the white boy of foreign parents may be identi fied with an older gang. of a crimi nal sort. that situation is not found among Negroes, One factor in the situation which Mr. Shaw emphasized is that there are fewer agencies of a constructive nature for Negroes than for the whites. Students of delinquency have long emphasized the value of tupervised recreation and other constructive social agencies in a cornmunity to offset its destructive and vicious agencics. Secondly. Mr. Shaw emphasized that high delinquency rates are found in bad housing areas, espec jally the deteriorated sections near est the central business district—in the case of Chicago. those nearest the loop. Shaw's studies show that Negro population in these areas:is less mobile than the fereign-born populations have been. The handicap of color not only hinders the Negro from acquiring a better income level, which would free him to move into better neigh borhoods, Mr. Shaw pointed out, but it also tends to restrict Negro populations to what are recognized a5 “Negro districts.” This concentration of Negro fami lies in deteriorated #reas was seen by Mr. Shaw as influencing the breaking away of the codes of the districts in which families live. Mr Shaw found the same conflict be tween the morals of the street and the morals of the family in the area which foreign parents live in; in those areas the fyreign parents gi,'phnld the tradition of their home and against the poolroom or delin quent gang tradition which passes as American. Like the foreign parent. usually, the Negro parent, Mr. Shaw noted in the largest percentage of cases, is a newcomer from a rural envi ronment unlike the city. But the Negro family, in Shaw's opinion. has the added handicap of a family tradition in western civilization ot only a few centuries. and is almost completely cut off from the older African artditions. .
