WASHINGTON — A six-
year government-backed study
of juvenile delinquency and
adult crime shows it is generally
impossible to predict which
youngsters will grow up to be
criminals.
And, it found, imposing sanc
tions on juvenile delinquents
and the intervention of social
workers and social programs is
frequently ineffective in deter
ring misbehaving teenagers.
The study, released Sunday,
tracked the criminal careers of
more than 6,000 people in
Racine, Wis. It was funded by

“Much of the concern about
juvenile delinquency has been
based on the premise that it
leads to adult crime,” said study
director Lyle Shannon, head of
the Iowa Urban Community Re
search Center at the University
of Iowa.
He said, however, the study
found that many adults who be
came criminals had no police re
cords as youths, and many juve
niles with five or more police
contacts became law-abiding
citizens.
Shannon said although stu
dies have shown some relation
ship between adult criminals
and juvenile delinquency, it is
insufficient “to permit predic
tion from juvenile misbehavior
of who will become adult cri
minals.”
Law-abiding adults who had
been juvenile delinquents said
they changed their behavior af
ter concluding what they
thought was fun as a youngster
“was no longer appropriate be
havior” — not out of fear of
being arrested, the study said.
“With considerable regular
ity,” the study said, “male juve
niles increased the frequency
and seriousness of their misbe
havior immediately after sanc
tions were imposed against
them. The increase in serious
ness of misbehavior was not true
for female juveniles.
“The few who continue to
have police contacts with an in
crease in seriousness (and finally
a decline) are those who become
well known to the adult justice
system and thus create the im
pression of continuity and in
creasing seriousness in delin
quent criminal careers,” he said.
The study found that only
those studied in the inner city of
Racine showed any evidence of a
link between juvenile and adult
behavior.
Of the group born in 1942, he
said, 11.7 percent lived in the
inner city and had continuous
police contacts up to age 18.
More than 53 percent of those
had “high seriousness scores” as
adults, he said.
The study focused on the de
linquency and criminal careers
of three groups of people. One
group was born in 1942 and
their contacts with police were
traced from age 6 to 32. A
second group, born in 1949, had
their police contacts were traced
from age 6 to 25. The third
group was born in 1949 and
traced from age 6 to 21.

Foreign cars gain
in business market
United Press International
DETROIT — O.S. businesses
have followed the lead of private
motorists by buying more im
ported cars — giving foreign
automakers a 13.2 percent share
of the fleet customer market last
year, a study shows.
Foreign car manufacturers
substantially increased their
market Share of the fleet cus
tomer market between 1979 and
1981, said a Hertz Corp. survey
released Sunday.
The survey also showed the
number of cars rented and
leased last year rose 1.1 percent
to 5.068 million, up from 5.015
million a year before. The vehi
cle rental-lease industry re
corded a 16.8 percent increase
in revenues, the study found.
In the past 15 years, Hertz
estimated, nearly half of all new
cars sold in the United States
were purchased by corpora
tions, government agencies,
small businesses and leasing and
rental agencies.
U.S. automakers consider
these fleet sales almost their
“bread and butter.”
Business customers get de
liveries of new models before
they arrive in retail showrooms.
Often the use of new models by a
rental agency or corporation can
lead customers and employees
to purchase them for their own
use.
But Hertz found an increas
ing number of foreign-made
cars are being purchased for
non-personal use. In 1981, im
ports made up 13.2 percent of
those sales, up from 12.1 per
cent in 1980.
In 1979, the imports’ share of
this market was just 8.2 percent.
In 1970, it stood at under 3 per
cent of business vehicles.
“In short, American business
has now done what private
motorists have been doing for
10 to 20 years — buying im
ports,” said a Hertz spokesman.
