Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shaw and McKay were primarily focused on understanding the spatial distribution of juvenile delinquency through the addresses of youths who had been formally processed by the criminal justice system (courts, correctional facilities, or police probation officers). They did not specifically map the addresses of boys who were uninvolved with the criminal justice system but admitted to delinquent acts, as their research was more concerned with official records of delinquency.
