Summary: "West Side Studies: Boyhood and Lawlessness; The Neglected Girl" by Pauline Goldmark et al. is a social research study written in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the social conditions affecting children, particularly boys and girls, in a neglected neighborhood on the West Side of New York City. It documents the systemic issues leading to juvenile delinquency and the overall deteriorating conditions faced by the community, ultimately reflecting on the broader implications for society as a whole. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive social investigation undertaken during the summer of 1912. It introduces the context of the West Side neighborhood's history, highlighting the struggles of boys and girls grappling with lawlessness, poverty, and a lack of adequate social structures. The text conveys the limitations of existing judicial systems, such as the Children’s Court, in addressing juvenile delinquency while also illustrating the environmental influences on the children's behaviors. In particular, the narrative emphasizes the boys’ lives, marked by minor infractions largely stemming from their impoverished surroundings, while also hinting at the neglect faced by young girls, whose needs are similarly overlooked. The detailed description paints a vivid picture of a community in distress, setting the path for further examination of the necessary reforms to elevate the lives of its youth.
