The Juvenile Criminal in Southern India (Classic Reprint)

Colonel Bertie Hobart, in one of his letters to my brother, remarked that few people of those who have not been in India know what civilising institutions like this school (referring to the Chingleput Reformatory) are undertaken by Government. I am afraid that few critics of Government, even in I ndia, are aware of the efforts which are being made to reclaim the juvenile offender and make him a good citizen. The object of this little book, therefore, is threefold :(i) To show what Government is doing for the country in this direction, (2) to put on record a few notes gathered in the course of my experience with juvenile criminals, which may be of use to those engaged in the study of juvenile criminality, and (3) to furnish information for a continuity of policy to my successors in office, especially during a transitive period, which is often a period of mischief and unrest. I am indebted toM r. K. Rangachari, M.A., for the brief notes on the Tamil and Telugu castes inC hapters VIII and IX. The half-tone blocks were executed by W. H. Smith Son, ofF etter Lane, London.
