Night Is For Violence - David Bateson

ROBERT HALE LIMITED

FIRST PRINTING 1958

LONDON, UK

A THOUSAND pounds is a mountain of money-when you're broke. That's how Paul Hamilton felt before the cheque came. And when the big windfall arrived, he made plans for spending the money abroad, on his own.

But he hadn't bargained for the intrusion of his wayward wife. Nor had he expected to become entangled with a bunch of teenage delinquents, such as left-handed Nick, a youth with a grudge against society; and Jennie, a pale-faced girl in jeans, struggling towards womanhood through vandalism and scandal. And he hadn't foreseen Diane Summers, mature, good for him, and desirable; nor, somewhere out of sight, the Violent One, with a mind full of hatred and murder.

In The Soho Jungle David Bateson exposed a vice racket in London's seamiest quarter. Now he offers a story of the all-too-prevalent vicious crimes in the darker streets and alleys of any city...your city.

Copenhagen. A city of bars, brothels and the good life. For some, a life bordering on the hysteria, boredom and spiritual bankruptcy. Martin Finch, an aspiring writer, returns to this. Here is Fritz, the old friend who runs an unsuccessful literary magazine. Here is Frank, Anita's smooth and heartless lover. Finally, here is Lulu, who becomes Martin's mistress.

The brittle, feverish surface of life is shattered when Anita takes a trip too many and commits suicide, and martin releases upon Frank al his pent-up fury and frustration.

A successor to the best-selling YOUNG LOVE, this is a vital novel of today, epitomizing the younger generation's moral and social dilemma.

The Realistic Story of a Girl Delinquent

Young Jadie Greenway was hard. On the squalid slum-streets where she was raised, a girl had to fight to survive...and fiery-spirited Jadie, demanding every child's right to grow up into decent maturity, never ceased fighting.

This powerfully realistic story of an adolescent girl's struggle against a brutal environment and easy temptations makes gripping reading. Seldom has Avon been privileged to bring its readers so authentic an indictment of one of society's most shocking flaws. The meaning of JADIE GREENWAY is starkly implicit in every scene, on every exciting page.

The Circle Of Guilt - Frederic Wertham M.D.

DOBSON BOOKS 

FIRST EDITION 1958

LONDON, UK

DR WERTHAM has had many years' experience with disturbed and delinquent youngsters. His newest book exposes the sobering facts and hidden causes behind one of America's most shocking murders-the true story of Frank Santana, the so-called 'hoodlum' who killed the so-called 'model boy', Billy Blankenship, in a New York street fight.

In this book he describes how a psychiatrist examines a case and tries to understand the psychological and social background. He has here set down what he found when called in by the defence to examine the seventeen-year-old Santana.

A fatherless boy, oldest in a family which had recently moved from Puerto Rico, Santana had belonged to a stick-ball club which had evolved into a gang for self-protection. All members were Puerto Ricans living in a neighborhood where prejudice against them was very strong. What is not generally known is that his victim was also a member of a gang which made practice of beating up Puerto Ricans. Tragedy was inevitable, and actually both boys were victims of their environment and the standards they had been taught to accept. If all the clues are followed, the circle of guilt enlarges in every case. A lesser plea (of second degree murder) was accepted in the case and the damning data Dr Wertham has included here was never heard in court. This book is a plea for understanding, published with the hope that it may guide others concerned with building ethical and social standards of the young.

G.A. Lyward, of Mr Lyward's Answer, relates Dr Wertham's findings and thesis to contemporary England and emphasizes their importance for us.
