Youth Delinquency Topic
Ot Police Chief Champlin
'Warning Signs of Trou
ble" was the topic discussed
by Chief Charles Champlin
of the Medford City Police de
partment before a large au
dience at a meeting of Mc
Loughlin Parent Teacher as
' sociation last week.
Chief Champlin began ' by
- stating that last year 46 per
cent of all people arrested for
major crime were under the
;ago of 13 years, which indi-
cates a real problem and re-
sponsibility for and ,to the
teenager of Junior High
; school age. Chief Champlin
emphasized that the prime
responsibility lies with the
parents since the home is the
' basic unit of civilization.
Children are not born bad, he
said. Generally speaking,
the children who lack guid-
. ance and moral training at
home are much more apt to
become bad. This lack of
guidance at home, Chief
I Champlin continued, adds up
: to parental delinquency, of
; which there is an abundance.
The speaker mentioned a
number of ways in which
; parents can help prevent de-
; linquency in their children.
In the first place, parents
! should be well adjusted in-
. dividuals themselves, both in
the home and in the commu
' nity, and form good living
'habits as an example for
, their children, the chief said.
Parents should be consistent
about rules, establish . them
and stick with them. "Don't
, uphold your child in error,
or permit him knowingly to
break the law, or boast to
your child of your violating
; the law and not getting
caueht " he stressed. Chief
Champlin further continued
that parents should know
where their children are and

not always take their word
for it. He added that there
are more temptations at night.
Home Stressed
Parents should encourage
their children to bring their
friends into their home, the
chief said, and should plan
family-unit activities. "Make
your children feel wanted
and loved," he said. It is a
sad thing to hear some de
linquent children say they
aren't wanted at home."
Outside of the home, Chief
Champlin stated, the commu
nity has secondary responsi
bility to the children and
youth. It does what it can to
help through the schools,
churches and Sunday Schools
and the many youth organiza
tions such as Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts and others as well as
the police department's own
Pal Club and school safety
programs, etc.
Chief - Champlin concluded
his talk by saying that there
is no one solution to Juvenile
Delinquency. "We must all
share the responsibility in
giving our youth a better
form of guidance and moral
training which-will be-of real
value to them as they, grow
up."
Dr. Tom Anderson, pro
gram chairman, presented the
program and introduced Chief
Champlin to the association.
tMrs. Bill Rambo, associa
tion president, conducted a
business meeting and intro
duced officers and committee
chairman for the year. Glenn
.Linn, school principal, intro
duced the faculty and other
schobl personnel. Mr. Linn
also invited parents to visit
their child's classes at school.
Teachers are free to see par
ents irom 8 to 8:30 a.m. or
from 3:15 to 4 p.m. in their
rooms. If parents wish to
make "an appointment, they
may do so by calling the
school office.
Mr. Linn announced that

Juvenile Delinquency Said
On Increase in
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
Tokyo-OIPD-The "new" Ja
pan has a new problem ju
venile delinquency.
Officials report that the J
D rate has climbed steadily
since World War II, although
crimes of violence are less
frequent than in the United
States.
Last year, 6 per cent of Ja
pan's 14-20 age group (or
670,000 teenagers) were in
volved in some sort of act
calling for police action, re
ports the Women's and Mi
nors' Bureau of the Ministry
of -Labor. Some 120,000 were
arrested for criminal offenses
alone.
Mrs. Setsu Tanino, bureau
director, said, that the num
ber one teenage crime is sex
offenses: the second is theft.
Murder, she said, "fortunate
ly is rare.

Accurate statistics for the
pre-war delinquency rate are

Your Charge
New Japan
unavailable, but the Nation
al Police department said
that "since the war, crimes
committed by juveniles have
increased for a certainty."
One authority K o h e i
Hayashi compared pre-war
to post-war life, to show the
"why" of increase. Hayashi is
advisor to the security section
for. juvenile delinquency, of
the National Police 'Depart
ment. He pointed out that family
relations were not the same
in post-war democratic days
as in "f eudalistic" Japan;
family ties are looser, the
"dignity" of parents has de
creased in a child's eyes.
The education standards
have changed. Before the
.war, schools preached ideals
and a strong moral code. Now
the emphasis is on "realism"
and the individual is consid
ered before society. Before
the war it was just the op
posite, said Hayashi.
Community Life Disorganised
Community life is disor
ganized. Hayashi said neigh
bors used to help each other;
today there is a "mind your
own business" attitude.
And, said Hayashi, there
have been many changes in
evaluation of prominent
people.- Before the war, the
emperor was considered "al
most sacred," No longer so
"This," he said, "has caused
the teenager to change' at
titude toward evaluating soc
ial life. . ."
What is Japan doing about
its J-D problem?
Various groups are sponsor
ing legislation to force early
closing of all-night coffee and
teahouses, many of which
have become teenager haunts,
In areas where there is a
J-D concentration, the police
department and private citi
zens have joined in anti-de-linauencv
campaigns. In one
slum area of Tokushima city,
for instance, lawlessness was
so rampant even the police
entered cautiously. One wo
man resident volunteered to
hear a camDaign. with police,
neighborhood and teach' as
sistance. Result a 90 per cent
crime drop,
Theuolice department also
suDDorts juvenile aid and
guidance centers. There al
ready are 15 in Japan. The
major aim to spot potential
delinquency, and prevent its
becoming active.
