Abstract

Reviews the book "Preventing Crime", edited by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck (New York: McGraw-Hill Company. 496 pp). Although all the crime prevention experiments that are being carried on in the United States could not be presented in one volume, twenty-four promising and representative attempts to reduce crime are individually reported. Psychologists will find little in these twenty-odd chapters that is new, but they will find much that should be provocative. Surely this symposium clearly indicates that many opportunities to render unique and highly specialized service in the field of crime prevention await the well-trained and socially-minded clinical psychologist.
