Excerpt from A Study of Boys in the Municipal Court of Chicago: With Emphasis Upon Recidivism, a Study Made by the Bureau of Surveys of the Department of Public Welfare, City of Chicago During the month of July, 1916, at the request of Judges Harry M. Fisher and Harry P. Dolan, of the Boys' Court, and after consultation with Chief Justice Harry Olson, of the Chicago Municipal Court, the Department of Public Welfare undertook a study of habitual offenders appearing in that court, for the purpose of bringing out information which it was hoped would reveal larger possibilities of service for the court's social service department, and, in a measure, to discover and present in the findings of this study the relation of parental, economic, physical and psychopathic conditions to habitual delinquency. Mabel E. Gregg, investigator in the Department of Public Welfare entered upon this study under the supervision of the Commissioner, with the co-operation of the judges mentioned above, and made a preliminary study of the records of some 500 boys. At this point Frank Orman Beck, Ph. D., who has been working in this court in very close co-operation with the judges, volunteered his services to the Department. He was requested by the Commissioner to enlarge the plan of the study and work it out to its finality. In addition to the data and statistics gathered by Mabel E. Gregg, Investigator, Dr. Beck has contributed the intricate study and research work and the valuable recommendations and findings of this report. Dr. Beck is to be congratulated upon this splendid contribution of volunteer service to the Department, and I have no doubt but that the value and usefulness of this Study will commend itself to the public and especially to all those interested in the Boy's Court.
