This DVD explores Juvenile Delinquency and what could be done to counter its effects in the 1940s to 1960s. While the films are very simplistic when compared to our modern troubles (i.e. more guns, drugs, violence, etc.), the DVD still offers a very good presentation of the roots of juvenile delinquency and shows specific steps that could be taken to ward off bad influences at an early age. The films are simultaneously quite entertaining and educational.
Here are all the films that make up this historical collection:
