N2  - A study of glue sniffing was initiated in 1962 by the Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County (San Jose), Cali fornia, when the number of sniffer referrals continued to increase and when the community wanted to know more about the effects, physical and psychological, of inhaling fumes from model air plane glue. The writer, at that time an intake officer, handled most of the referrals and observed what appeared to be a pattern of similarities. The sniffers were all poor academic achievers, below average in intelligence, and from a minority group background.     <p>Language: en</p>
