A Half Century With Juvenile Delinquents: The New York House Of Refuge And Its Times (1869) is a historical account of the New York House of Refuge, a pioneering institution that aimed to reform and rehabilitate juvenile delinquents in the mid-19th century. Written by B.K. Peirce, a former superintendent of the House of Refuge, the book provides a detailed overview of the institution's history, philosophy, and methods, as well as its impact on the broader social and political landscape of New York City. Peirce draws on his own experiences and observations, as well as archival records and contemporary accounts, to offer a vivid and engaging portrait of life at the House of Refuge and the challenges faced by both staff and inmates. The book also explores broader themes related to juvenile justice, social welfare, and the evolving role of the state in caring for vulnerable populations. As such, A Half Century With Juvenile Delinquents is a valuable resource for historians, criminologists, and anyone interested in the history of juvenile justice and social reform in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
