q1 · i? · theoretical · r1

This is the authors' expert assertion in the outline's opening points, not a tested result. They argue that good understanding requires education in the needs of young people, and that "the prime requisite is capacity for social service."

"The selection of the working personnel is the most important single consideration. The influence of a man or woman of good understanding upon youthful delinquents, whenever in contact with them, is not to be overvalued."
