Synopsis
This book presents a groundbreaking approach to reformation, using the principles of self-government to transform the lives of wayward youth. The author, a pioneer in the field, draws on his early work with street gangs and his founding of the famed Junior Republic to illustrate how responsibility and structure can lead troubled individuals towards a path of self-sufficiency and redemption. The book explores the complex factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency and challenges the prevailing notion that poverty and neglect are the sole causes. Instead, the author argues that a lack of opportunity, coupled with a culture of dependency, perpetuates a cycle of crime and recidivism. Through detailed accounts of his experiences, the author demonstrates how self-government empowers young people to develop essential life skills, such as self-reliance, cooperation, and accountability. The book offers a practical framework for implementing these principles in various settings, from schools to juvenile detention centers. By delving into the transformative power of responsibility, this book provides invaluable insights into the rehabilitation of troubled youth and offers a hopeful vision for a more just and equitable society.
