Macon , Go., Having
Youth Crime Wave
This is the second in a series of
six stories on juvenile delinquency.

which experienced a wartime pop
ulation and industrial boom.
MACON, Ga. «n The trouble is

offieer and juvenile court Judge in
this bustling middle Georgia city

a’ boom in juvenile delinquency.
And there’s no sign yet of a re
cession in juvenile crime in Ma
con, chief city of Bibb County—a
well-balanced industrial community
In the center of a prosperous cot,
ton. peach and cattle-grazing area.
Juvenile delinquency hit an all
time peak here last year when the
Bjhb Juvenile Court handled 699
cases, ah increase of more than
46 per cent over 1951. Tbe trend
has been upward, and court offi
cials believe it will continue that
way.

chief probation officer, doesn’t con.

while she was gone that the, house

Mr. Maxwell said today that the
origin of the fire still had not been
determined.
OTHERS THY RESCUE
First person on the scene was
Calvin Warren, who happened to
children outside the house wearing
pass by. He found tbe other four
nothing but theta night clothes
and preparing to go book in an at
tempt to save Magdalene.
Realizing that it would bo too
dangerous to try to rescue the child,
he kept the other children from re
the house, Unis possibly
saving their Hues.

sider the situation particularly
alarming in itself. Last year's to*
tal of juvenile cases represented
about 3 pita cent of the county’s
school population. Os the 699 cases,
22 per cent involved acts of care
lessness or mischiefs; 15 per oent
traffic violations; 13 per cent lar
ceny; ii per cent burglary; 9 per
cent each for truancy, running
away and ungovernable; 5 per cent
cent injury to person; 3 per oept
auto theft; 3 per cent sex Offens
es; 1 per cent robbery. But neither
is Hamner happy about the’situ,
ation.
HBmner believes the rising de
linquency rate is linked directly tq
the rate—also rising—of divorces
and broken homes in the commun
ity. There was ah estimated 450 to
50Q divorces last year in Bibb Coun
ty, which has a population of
120,000.
He lists as another serious cause
of delinquency the lack of super,
vision in families where both par,
ents work outside the home. Os
the juveniles who fell afoul of the <
law last year, 47 pec cent were liv
ing with both parents, 41 pec cent
With one patent; 8 per pent with
a relative; 2 per cent in foster
homes and 2 per cent in other
institutions.
Unlike many other cities, there
apparently are no real organized
juvenile gang* here. At least, auth
orities have had no serious prob
lem with juvenile gangs as sueh.
Macon, and Bibb County, are try*
ing to do something about the de
linquency problem.
A new probation officer and ad,
ditional secretarial help were add*
ed to the Bibb County Juvenile
Court staff this year to help deal
with the increased load. The court
now has six probation officers work
ing full time with boys and girls
and on custody and neglect cases.
Hamner sal's his office sleases
the importance of counseling for
juveniles on probation to head off
repeaters who comprised one-third
of last year’s cases. The probation
officers spend as much time as they
can spare from investigative work
talking with delinquent youngsters
about thei problems and trying to
steer them on the right road.
The court has set UP an advisory
board of local leaders who try to
interest their grouns in more work
on delinquency problems—encour
aging churches to broaden youth
programs and parents to help out.
