Clifford R. Shaw

The Jack-Roller

A Delinquent Boy's Own Story

225 pages,     © 1930, 1966

Paper $17.00

ISBN: 9780226751269   Published December 1966

Vivid, authentic, this is the autobiography of a delinquent—his experiences, influences, attitudes, and values. The Jack-Roller helped to establish the life-history or "own story" as an important instrument of sociological research. The book remains as relevant today to the study and treatment of juvenile delinquency and maladjustment as it was when originally published in 1930.
