Excerpt from Juvenile Court Laws in the United States: A Summary by States, by Thomas J. Homer; A Topical Abstract, by Grace Abbott; And the New Juvenile Court Law of Monroe County, N. Y material here presented is intended for the use of judges and officers of juvenile courts, of students of legislation, and of those who may undertake the preparation of new legislation or the revision of old legislation affecting dependent and delinquent children. Part I is a summary of the juvenile court legislation of the United States to 1908, inclusive, which was prepared in 1909, under the direction of John Koren, expert special agent of the United States Bureau of the Census, by Thomas J. Homer, of the Suffolk (Massachusetts) Bar. With the consent of Mr. Koren, his summary has been revised so as to cover the legislation of 1909. For most of the states the revision is complete to the close of 1909. For a few states, the changes made by the legislatures of 1909 have merely been indicated by foot notes, the text itself still comprising the legislation in force in 1908. The summary is printed by permission of Mr. E. Dana Durand, Commissioner of the Census. Part II is a topical abstract of state laws governing the trial and disposition of juvenile offenders, prepared by Miss Grace Abbott of Chicago in connection with a study of the Juvenile Court of Chicago made by the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, for the Russell Sage Foundation, and covering legislation in force at the close of 1909. It is published with the consent of the officers of the school. This abstract is arranged topically under eleven topics: I. The Court Given Jurisdiction; II. Extent of Jurisdiction; III. Procedure; IV. Records and Reports; V. Place of Holding Court and Exclusion of the Public; VI. Disposition of the Child Pending Trial; VII. Final Disposition of the Child; VIII. Probation Officers; IX. Construction of Juvenile Court Laws; X. Adult Responsibility for Juvenile Delinquency; XI. Relation of Court to Institution in which Children are Placed. Each topic is treated by states, alphabetically, enabling the reader to ascertain what is the legislation of each state with reference to each several topic. The topics are treated only in outline.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Conference on Juvenile-Court Standards: Held Under the Auspices of the U. S. Children's Bureau and the National Probation Association, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 21-22, 1921 The Conference on Juvenile-Court Standards was opened by the Hon. Herbert C. Parsons, president of the National Probation Association, with a brief statement of the purpose of this conference under the joint auspices of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor and the National Probation Association. He then introduced the chairman of the first-session. Chairman: Hon. Michael S. Sheridan, Judge of the Juvenile Court of Milwaukee County, Wis. Introductory Statement. Julia C. Lathrop, Chief of the United States Children's Bureau. A conference like this offers certain marked advantages to a Government bureau. First, it brings together the stimulating, free activity of a voluntary organization and the traditionally calm placidity of governmental method. Second, it subjects us to each other's candid criticism in a friendly atmosphere that is good for the Government bureau, at least. Third, and most valuable, it exemplifies and encourages cooperation between public and private agencies. And this cooperation - intelligent and disinterested - must exist if the public which supports us by taxes or by voluntary contributions is to secure the services it is endeavoring to purchase from us both. We may hope that what is described as the "Government stroke" may be quickened by our deliberations, and, on the other hand, that you may feel more inclined to trust your cargoes to craft which can not turn turtle nor stop moving forward, however slow the rate of progress. The history of the juvenile-court movement in the United States affords many examples of continuous cooperation between public and private agencies.

Ricerca sul lavoro del Tribunale per i minori mirata a favorire una maggiore comprensione dei bisogni dei bambini coinvolti in procedimenti giudiziari partendo da un'analisi delle condizioni sociali in cui esso vivono e che potrebbero favorire il loro comportamento deviante. Dopo una breve illustrazione dei diversi procedimenti giuridici previsti per i minori nell'ordinamento giuridico statunitense, il testo presenta in modo dettagliato le diverse condizioni socio-economiche in cui il minore potrebbe trovarsi a vivere (immigrazione, povertà, famiglia numerosa, famiglia con altri membri delinquenti) e per ognuna di esse è data una descrizione dei fattori che potrebbero spingere il minore, anche in modo inconsapevole, a commettere reati. Concludono l'opera sei appendici contenenti i dati statistici e finali di diverse ricerche svolte sull'argomento nella città di Chicago nei primi anni del Novecento.
