Embodying Delinquency: Boys' Bodies, Sexuality, and Juvenile Justice History in Early-Twentieth-Century Quebec
|
| Abstract |
In the early twentieth century, social commentators linked boys' "problem" of vagrancy and disorderliness to their abandonment by parents and families and their lack of education, justifying substantial sentences in reform institutions where they might obtain rudimentary learning and acquire industrial skills. The author points out that a long tradition of casting delinquent boys as more "in danger" than dangerous helped to shape the ethic of juvenile justice in Montreal that prevailed at the time of the inauguration of the city's first juvenile court in 1912.
