Abstract
In contrast to other boys charged by Detroit police with misconduct, juveniles involved in automobile theft came in relatively higher proportion from good neighborhoods and favored ethic groups. They had good peer-group relationships but otherwise were similar to a cross-section of other juvenile offenders. What they shared with boys of lower socioeconomic status might be a personality structure which responded to the values of their primary group but not to those of larger adult-dominated social entities.
