Drawing on extensive archival materials and published works, Between Medicine and Criminology is the first book to investigate the history of the making of the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study, its operation and long-term follow-up, as well as what this history holds for modern criminology. Started in 1935 by Richard Cabot, a renowned physician and professor of clinical medicine and social ethics, the CSYS was a kind of mentoring program for young, underprivileged boys. It represents one of the earliest delinquency prevention programs and criminology's first randomized controlled trial. With the influence of several pioneers in criminology-including Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck, William Healy, and Joan McCord-the CSYS stands as an iconic study in the history of criminology.
