Shakespeare Reference in Crime And Juvenile Delinquency

I read books on a wide variety of subjects. One thing they all seem to have in common is Shakespeare. Yesterday I read Crime And Juvenile Delinquency, a book in the Problems Of American Society series, edited by Gerald Leinwand. And there was a reference to The Merchant Of Venice. In a piece titled “A Cop Looks At Juvenile Delinquency,” Albert Deutsch writes, “The old police insistence on a pound of flesh for juvenile misconduct, bawling juveniles out and locking them up have not accomplished any favorable results” (p. 112).

Crime And Juvenile Delinquency was published in 1968 by Washington Square Press, a division of Simon & Schuster.
