One of the first uses of the term "juvenile delinquency" was in a report entitled "Report of the Committee for Investigating the Causes of the Alarming Increase of Juvenile Delinquency in the Metropolis" that was printed in London in 1816. Later, in New York City in 1819, there was founded the "Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents" (Bernard 1992). After these two reports the term spread rapidly.
