Delinquency's One Way Street
The teeming streets of Brooklyn were a battleground for fifteen-year old Joey Vanne. A bright, personable kid, he might have gone far once, but he was already a marked "Juvenile Delinquent."
It all began when Joey learned that being handy with his fists made him a Big Shot with his gang and with the girls who hung around his cellar club. At times Joey dreamed of getting out of the rat race...
You've never read about boys like Joey Vanne- good kids gone wrong. But never before has there been such a blazingly real story- one that is utterly true to life- about today's teen-agers on the prowl.
