Observation of a severely delinquent street corner group shows that two-thirds of the membership is relatively constant. Core members, identified on the basis of participation records and narrative reports of activity, attend more frequently and regularly than fringe members, and spend more time together each night. Level of group organization varies widely from time to time, and follows trends parallel to those observed in daily man-hours; it is suggested accordingly that the latter are indices of group solidarity. This conclusion is an optimum explanation of the relationship observed between manhours and activity: low solidarity is a threat to the boys, and provokes group activity which attracts and reinforces members and increases solidarity
