Crime and the Criminal: II: Professor Cyril Burt: The Psychology of the Bad Child

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

This is the second talk in the series on Crime and the Criminal, which Mr. Laurence Housman opened with a discussion of crime in its relation to society last week. Tonight Professor Cyril Burt will deal with the problem of the bad child - or, more strictly speaking, the delinquent child, for, as Dr. Burt contends, apart from mentally defective and backward children, the delinquencies of the young are simply the result of innate and untrained animal instincts. His talk will be a psychological study of the youthful criminal, and he will discuss not only the causes of delinquency in the young, but also the most appropriate methods of treatment, with illustrations from actual cases.
