j ^ l u c H h a s b e e n w r i t t e n in recent years about juvenile delin­ quency. Periodically voices have been heard decrying adult delinquency. On April 27 a news item appeared, pinpointing this devastating indictment o f adult delinquency in a very alarming manner. A professor o f sociology at the University o f California at Berkeley headed an eighteen-month study into the world o f juvenile drug-users. The study was financed in large measure with grants from the Department o f Health, Education, and Welfare. It was a very thorough study which produced some most enlight­ ening results. The drugs most commonly used by the younger generation were marijuana, amphetamines, barbiturates, and LSD. There was a "fu ll and frank discussion” in the effort to make the users o f these drugs aware o f the dangers. However, it was stated that "practical rather than moral arguments were used, such as the danger o f deterioration o f health and personality and o f arrest and acquiring a criminal record.” It was hoped by the investigators that such an approach would be more effective than that employed in schools, churches, welfare agencies, police sta­ tions or courts. It was reported that "they [the young addicts] co-operated with us voluntarily and not as a captive group.” But the investigators soon found out that they were failing completely to persuade the juveniles to give up the use o f drugs. The argu­ ments against use o f these drugs were not sufficiently convincing and the dangers not real enough in the minds o f the young users. "From their personal experiences and observations they could refute the claims that drugs usually led to health or personality deterioration,” the report stated. Many o f the young users came from broken homes, but "they pointed out that the breaking up o f homes was due to other factors than the use o f drugs.” The report declared that "the youths’ arguments for use o f drugs included the statement that drugs increased conviviality, did not lead to violence, resulted in harmless pleasure, and were much less harmful than the use o f alcohol— a use that is openly sanctioned by society.”
