Sokosky organizations for c rime the new York City youth Board has issued a very fancifully arranged brochure entitled a teenage after you read it you Are bound to feel great sympathy with the gangs and wonder Why those who Are murdered by the juvenile gangsters Are unwilling to be killed Lor the Good of society. What is Clear from the pamphlet is that no moral criteria enter into the thinking of those who prepare it and who Are designated to look after the hoodlums. Let me quote a paragraph vol. So no.

What Are the activities Are called a quite simply which antisocial a a they include murder narcotics pushing the raping of juveniles impairing the morals of the Young mayhem rioting and All sorts of crimes. These Are called a quite simply and the brochure goes on to give the impression that it is rather Normal for teenagers to be anti social. In fact after Reading this pamphlet issued by the City of new York i could not help but reach the conclusion that it is Normal for a child to be anti social and that those children who behave themselves and live decent lives Are abnormal so the youth Board starts with the following premise a we know for instance that for All adolescents youngsters in their teens this is a tune of Normal physical and psychological growth and change we know that As a part of this Normal growing up process ii is important for a teenager to be a member of a group of Young people his own age his Peers such close group associations Are in fact one of the most Basic and natural needs of the teenager. It helps him Bridge that Gap Between childhood and adulthood. It offers him Many opportunities for positive growth and too in the philosophers of the youth Board do not go to the heart of the Issue which is that when i a Roe on i Flemming vue be a items successor to Folsom Copenhagen Hub the nato Ion Ign ministers agreed today that to in i unit Tea Mon and controlled do liniment should be Oil the East West Summit meeting.

Instead they take the easier course of blaming it on the twentieth Century International tensions the cold War but not on communism or secularism. The pamphlet says a youngsters belonging to antisocial gangs not Only have the general world insecurity to face but must put up with other problems As Well a a when Serra shot Ramos he was undoubtedly thinking of general world insecurity maybe he had in mind Nasser a visit to Khrushchev and possibly the visit of the american Bankers to Nasser How silly can these social workers be too As i read this pamphlet paid for by the taxpayer who is afraid in new York to walk through the City Parks lest hoodlums pounce upon him and steal his overcoat or As actually happened to a Young lady get stabbed without a word being spoken just because the stabber likes to Stab i wonder what kind of a world the social worker lives in. For instance Mark the following paragraph a police action against gang violence has often been absolutely necessary for the Protection of the Community. But because the police a function has been primarily to protect the Community not to rehabilitate the gang this approach was in the Long run unproductive in modifying gang activity or in eliminating the too in a social worker takes a gang f tar Serra out for a ride feeds j him hot dogs and soda pop. Takes i him to a Candy store where Serra 1 takes out a loaded gun and shoots a boy Calk d Ramos and the social worker says thai whereas he was in this tiny Candy store he did not actually see the shooting. In a word the youth Board accepts the gangsters code that it will not squeal to the police even when murder is committed. It would sem that an old fashioned cop. With a Strong leaded night stick and a Tough attitude toward life would do these hardened children More Good than All the slapping on the wrist they get from soft spoken kindly intentioned soda pop drinking social workers who belong to the youth Board.
