TY - JOUR PY - 1951// TI - Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency. I. Illusions in a Research Project Using Matched Pairs JO - American journal of sociology A1 - Rubin, S. SP - 107 EP - 114 VL - 57 IS - 2 N2 - In their latest study of delinquent behavior the Gluecks proposed an eclectic plan of research. Their basic assumption is erroneous, leading to a method of work which invites challenge. The unsound method inevitably leads to erroneous conclusions: their apparatus for the prediction of delinquency and their "causal law" are invalid.
