The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pathology of Lying, Etc. by William and Mary Healy: the hospital statement enumerates would convince one of this
individual's marked abnormality from a social point of view and
that his being at large was a grave undesirability.
The latest information concerning this young man is that he was
being held in a Western city for burglary.
We should hesitate to make out a card of causative factors in
this case. It is clear that the major cause in his delinquency
was his aberrational mentality. What there was by way of
causation back of this, our history, although obtained from an
apparently conscientious parent, is too meagre for explanation.
