Who are the Delinquents? (1957-00-00)
About this film
This summary of the series shows the many facets of delinquent behavior, probes the fact that no two delinquents are alike and points out that there are as many different types of delinquency as there are causes. In capsule form, Sheriff Lohman destroys some popular myths concerning delinquency: All delinquents are alike, authorities should be extremely severe, delinquents should be removed from the community, the solution to any individuals problem is simple. He touches briefly on some of the causes for the anti-social behavior manifested by the delinquent and accompanies his resume with film illustrations. He reviews the basic hostilities that the delinquent personality may feel toward society, toward things (the urge to destroy), toward individuals, toward himself.
