"Suggestions for the Prevention of Juvenile Depravity" by Benjamin Rotch is a sociopolitical treatise written in the mid-19th century. The book addresses issues surrounding juvenile crime, particularly among the lower classes in urban settings, advocating for preventive measures rather than punitive ones. Rotch, serving as a Justice of the Peace, presents a case for legislative action to address the root causes of juvenile delinquency, emphasizing the need for parental care and domestic stability. In this work, Rotch posits that the primary drivers of juvenile depravity are the lack of proper parental care and the absence of a nurturing home environment. He suggests the establishment of government-funded asylums for destitute and unprotected children, where they could receive education and vocational training to prevent them from falling into crime. Rotch critiques existing methods and proposes a comprehensive solution aimed at early intervention, stressing that by addressing the needs of these children before they turn to crime, society can save itself from the burdens of criminality and create a more stable future. Through his examination of social issues and possible legislative remedies, he highlights the importance of societal responsibility in curbing juvenile delinquency.
