WALK DOWN ALL YOUR SIDE STREETS

through the raucous stone jungle of the city's backwash - and you'll meet her.

The delinquent. And hundreds like her, roaming the pavements in aggressive knots, schooled on reefers, zip guns, gutter rumbles.

At fifteen they are women, hard and cynical beyond their years, openly contemptuous of the law, eager for the glamour of the big-time ways of violence.

the lucky ones get caught, maybe in time.

THEY WERE SPAWNED IN THE SIDESTREETS OF HELL

IN VICE, IN POVERTY, IN DESPAIR they grow to womanhood and to manhood.

Walk northwest from this street sign, and you'll hit the district where they live. Spanish Harlem, a no man's land in neon, where the kids are weaned on reefer's, lead pipes and gang wars. None escape this concrete jungle.

Chico tried. Chico, who found tender love in its back alleys, who knew there was another life beyond the block's squalor and struggled to find it - until Spanish Harlem sucked him back to its depths.

-DAILY MAIL

'The sex life of the Crocodiles, and Duke's proprietorship of Lu Ann, the gang's fifteen year old tart, is the authentic slum jungle pattern.'

-NEW STATESMAN
