Until recently historians and sociologists tended to view juvenile delinquency within the context of subcultural theory. This was often supported by evidence taken from contemporary sources. A closer and more skillful reading of the evidence suggests that juveniles fluctuated between normative values and those of the sub‐culture of delinquency (as stated by Matza). Also they were seen by adults within a conflicting paradigm as objects of contempt on one hand and young innocents in need of care and protection on the other
