Jane Addams wrote a whole book on the subject of juvenile delinquency -- it is called The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets. The University of Illinois Press publishes a paperback edition. But she would not have described the book's topic as "juvenile delinquency." As the book's title shows, she believed in youth's passion, optimism, curiosity and adventuresomeness, and blamed the streets of the city for not offering more positive ways for youth to be youth. Her settlement house, Hull House, in Chicago,did offer those positive ways -- clubs and classes of every kind, ways to make new friends, and to find mentors.
