  • Title: Movie portrayals of juvenile delinquency: Part II--Sociology and psychology.
    Author: Snyder S.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1995; 30(118):325-37. PubMed ID: 7676870.
    Abstract:
    The visual media, especially movies, are appealing to youth with their rapid presentation of visual images of immediate gratification and unbridled pursuit of materialism. As social class differences in America widen, movies may serve both as a reflection of the social psychology of juvenile delinquency and as an etiologic factor in the development of such wayward youth. This paper examines some current aspects of the sociology and psychology of juvenile delinquency, and presents the historical significance of movies since the 1930s as both a visual representation and causative factor in the social psychology of delinquent youth.
