This book explores the 1950s debate over the media and juvenile delinquency among parents, professionals, and the creators of mass culture themselves. Gilbert sees the attempt to blame the media for the rise in delinquency as part of a larger reaction of discomfort with social change--a discomfort echoed in recent debates over censorship.
