| Summary: | Data obtained on all the 1427 official cases of delinquency in San Francisco in 1960 point, as have many recent studies, to more than one delinquency generative milieu. The central concern of the paper is the adequacy of current theoretical formulations in explaining the observed differences. It is argued that these formulations may have provided sufficient understanding of lower-class delinquency, whether white or negro, but that approaches to middle-class white delinquency have not been satisfactory. It is suggested that the concept of subterranean values may be a fruitful beginning of theoretical consolidation. |
