...Each of these original studies uncovered facts that were more and more disturbing to more and more people," Mrs. Glueck, now a research associate at the Law School, said recently. For, instead of finding that the penal system was turning out permanently reformed criminals as was expected, the Gluecks discovered that about 80 per cent of the adult male offenders released, continued to disobey the law and about 88 per cent of the juvenile delinquents recidivated within five years after their dismissal...
Perhaps the most important fact reaped from the Glueck's study of adult offenders was that 75 per cent of them had also been juvenile delinquents. This information inspired the couple to begin their famous, very extensive study into the causes and prevention of juvenile crime. Their work has been sponsored as a permanent project by the Law School, where Glueck is Roscoe Pound Professor...

Their findings will be published today by the Harvard University Press in a book entitled "Predicting Delinquency and Crime."
