Juvenile Justice and The Boys' Farm: Surviving a Court-Created Population Crisis, 1909-1948
|
| Abstract |
A case study of how The Boys' Farm and Training School in Shawbridge, Quebec, a reform school founded in 1908 by a group of Montreal philanthropic Protestant businessmen to reform Protestant delinquent boys in a non-prison setting through outdoor work and living, survived four serious population crises since its founding. The author's main focus is on the first crisis from 1921 to 1930, examining how it arose and the strategies adopted by the school's influential English-speaking Board of Directors to deal with the dwindling clientele.
