About this film

Dr. Daniel Glazier, professor of sociology at the University of Illinois, discusses with Sheriff Lohman the role that a disrupted home life can play in developing the criminal offender. The Sheriff introduces a case study and interviews a victim of a disrupted home who has turned delinquent. The episode incorporates a film illustrating the disheartening problems which arise for a youngster in a home that is not happy or peaceful, that has little love and affection.
