Loring (Charles Loring) 10022316 The Dangerous Classes of New York, and Twenty Years' Work Among Them Produced by Gary Sandino, from scans by Google "The Dangerous Classes of New York, and Twenty Years' Work Among Them" by Charles Loring Brace is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the conditions faced by the impoverished youth in New York City and the efforts made by Brace and other reformers to address their dire circumstances through education and moral guidance. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the various societal issues that contribute to juvenile delinquency, emphasizing the importance of proactive reform rather than punitive measures. At the start of the book, Brace dedicates his work to those who have tirelessly striven to uplift the neglected youth of New York and outlines the theory guiding his investigation: the belief that nurturing and education are more effective than punishment for preventing crime among the city's most vulnerable populations. He reflects on the moral and social implications of neglecting these so-called "dangerous classes" and expresses his desire to bridge the gap between the affluent and the impoverished with his narrative. The introduction also sets the stage for a detailed examination of various factors contributing to juvenile crime, such as overcrowding, ignorance, and family dynamics, laying a foundation for Brace's advocacy for reformation efforts over mere punishment.
