...Sheldon Glueck, Roscoe Pound Professor of Law, and his wife, Eleanor T. Glueck, research associate in criminology, have compiled the first such tables in the history of criminology. Their findings will be published today by the Harvard University Press in a book entitled "Predicting Delinquency and Crime."
