About this title

Synopsis

""A Father And His Perverse Son: The First Example Of Juvenile Delinquency In The Recorded History Of Man"" is a book written by Samuel Noah Kramer. The book is a historical account of the first recorded instance of juvenile delinquency in human history. The story is about a father and his son who lived in ancient Mesopotamia. The son was a troublemaker, who disobeyed his father and committed various crimes such as stealing, lying, and even murder. The father, who was a respected member of the community, struggled to control his son's behavior and ultimately failed. The book explores the social and cultural factors that contributed to the son's delinquent behavior and the father's inability to discipline him. It also examines how the ancient Mesopotamian society dealt with juvenile delinquency and the impact it had on the community. The book provides a fascinating insight into the origins of juvenile delinquency and its effects on society.National Probation And Parole Association Journal, V3, No. 2, April, 1957.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
