[Publib] Ugly battle has librarians in Oak Brook turning

[Paula Laurita]

During my grad school special ed class we took a field trip to a residential
program for troubled teens.  The professor refused to take us to see the
girls school.  She informed us that every time she had tried that the grad
students got jumped, spat on, or other "vile" things happened.  She never
had that happen at the boys school.  

 

Vileness knows no age or gender.

We have found that a library is not an end in itself, but a means to many
ends.

Would anybody care to venture the proportion of male to female felons?   I
recall my old probation caseload was about 95% male.  

 

By the way, the strongest traits associated with crime are:  Male status,
followed by youth.  No other factor is nearly as good a determinant.  Cops
have been profiling for years--they just look for young men.  In answer to
the comment, off the top of my head, I can think of several million vile
men.  The women that come to mind are all relations, and I may be
prejudiced.
