THE AUTHOR

A. E. JONES is the son of a father and mother who were both elementary school teachers, he went first to the local council school where his parents believed-and he agrees with them-that the best available primary education was to be obtained. He acquired no special knowledge of juvenile delinquency there, though he does remember that one of his fellow pupils achieved some notoriety by graduating to a reformatory. At the age of ten he won a scholarship to the county secondary school; seven years later he won a university scholarship. He left King's College, London, with a first class honours degree, and after a short spell in a City office, entered the service of the law. For close on 20 years he has been a magistrates' clerk and during that time he has had special occasion to study the problems of juvenile delinquency. Opportunities to study the more normal side of childhood have been afforded by his two daughters. For some time he has made a hobby of writing articles of technical interest for legal journals. This is his first full length book.

Is Rosemary Your Daughter? - Shänne Sands

SHE LIVED FOR KICKS..'IT'S A BALL, MAN'.

NEVILLE SPEARMAN

FIRST PRINTING 1967

Is Rosemary Your Daughter? is a shattering, true story that concerns every one of us.

Rosemary, the desperate lonely unwanted child of an unmarried mother. Her metamorphosis from a young teenager into Bloody Mary the beatnik raging and torn - worn out with its own rottenness. Beaten by its own sorrow.

In England today there are many who are sick in mind and body, but surely nothing can touch for sadness and shame the mixed-up, untidy lives of England's outcast young. the unwanted, the beats and the bastards. All the out-to-shock-the-world young who are tarnished before they even know what life is about.

Rosemary lived for 'kicks', for 'it's a ball, man'. Drugs and sex followed her everywhere, along with the long-haired, unwashed males she slept around with.

Rosemary began by being lonely and unhappy. She took her own life after the jazz and jabs became unbearable, because nobody cared a damn about her.

WHAT ABOUT THE GIRLS?

A great deal has been written about boys who, as members of street gangs, flout the law and make a mockery of civilised rules of behavior. But what about the girls? How large a part is played by them in the spreading sickness called juvenile delinquency?

Unfortunately the girls, who had until recently been satisfied to play a subordinate role in gangdom, are now taking off on their own, stealing, fighting, gouging and killing-all for glory, revenge and kicks.

Here is a comprehensive study of this new development, a case-history account of girls "gone wrong," of teen-agers who resort to prostitution, alcohol and dope-anything that will implement their rebellion and give them status in their own crime-infested, immoral world.

It's a crime what Borstal can do to a girl.

'scrubbers'

Annetta and Carol - when they broke out of Borstal they were friends. But now they're caught, back inside, sent to the tough, closed Borstal - it's different. Annetta thinks Carol's betrayed her - and she's going to get her brutal revenge.

SCRUBBERS is a glimpse into a closed world - the violence, the hopelessness, the uneasy alliances between the inmates, built on love and lust and fear. But SCRUBBERS also captures the unique affinity that exists between the prisoners, the rough, bawdy humour that helps them endure the desperate life behind prison bars.
