Drug-taking in delinquent boys.
نویسنده
چکیده
A retrospective survey was conducted on 67 boys in a London remand home during the years 1965-7 inclusive who were known to have taken drugs. The boys were divided into a "hard" and a "soft" group according to whether or not there was evidence of narcotic taking. The groups were compared and the hard group showed a significantly greater incidence of abnormal personality, family history of psychiatric illness, and disturbed relationships within the family. The subsequent drug careers of all boys were followed by means of Home Office records. Nine boys in the soft group had progressed to hard drugs by June 1969.
