This was filmed in my hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, where the Centron Corporation was based. The exterior shots at 8:02 are of Lawrence High School and the Douglas County Courthouse.
Went to Google Earth to check it out and its amazing how the Courthouse looks almost exactly the same as it did 60 years ago. The high school looks a little different.
I love how this short doesn't actually address juvenile delinquency at all, instead leaving it up to the viewer. But the problem is, "what can we do to prevent juvenile delinquency" is like asking how can we stop the weather from happening...
There is something we can do: say no to our kids. It's the kids who get everything they want from parents who never let them have any discomfort, who grow up to take whatever they want, no matter how much it hurts others.
A friend of mine who got in trouble all the time in high school in the mid-90’s now goes on Facebook to complain about teenagers these days and how out of control and lazy and disrespectful they are.
Maybe they're starting with the small, odd crimes to practice for the real capers. Also, a pen is harder to trace back to you than a wallet or cash, unless it's personalized.
Credit "cards" were kept at home locked in a drawer and only taken out when you were going to that particular store. And they were called "plates" not 'cards." They were metal. Required a signature to use.
"What About Juvenile Delinquency" finally, a film that asks the question that's on everybody's mind. And I mean *everybody*. Don't try to deny it, you were thinking it too!
"I wouldn't advise any of you to go to that meeting if I were you". ....so, if you were me, you wouldn't advise...me? So you wouldn't advise yourself? Or you would? Austin Powers thinks that sentence is stupid
Love these things! Trivia on this one: most if not all of the music was from the old Superman TV series starring George Reeves. I have that soundtrack and recognized most of it...
I'll give this short credit for one thing: it doesn't act as though all teenagers are raving lunatics bent on destruction like a lot of films from this time period that were shown on this show. Apparently, hatred and fear of the young has always been around.
"Yeah, let's go study! "Our Maytag broke Sir"-I actually had to look it up to learn that the actor was not Gordon Jump. He looked just like him though. 😉 "They flattened him-Oh." "NORM! NORM! NORM! NORM! NORM!" "Where's the little delinquent's room?" "How's Dad?" "How did you know?" "He's always been my dad!" "Tell you what, you can beat up my dad!" "You boys haven't been moving the stuff very well." "We're talking about trouble right here in River City!'
+whitelion44 It's for the people who saw this to decide on what action is to be taken on this matter. At least the teens back then aren't as sociopathic as today's youth.
The Drivers Licences I'm pretty sure is up to the State and Federal Governments, the parties and dances, if they're a private event it's up to the owner of the property, otherwise canceling those and the football games would be up to the school board and the athletics commission. The only thing the City Government could do would be a curfew
I think it had to do with with very tightly wound parents. Those people lived through two world wars, a deadly flu epidemic, and a horrible depression. They just wanted to be left alone.
“Hey, this guy has a wallet full of 100’s, and a solid gold watch”!
“Don’t waste your time, idiot. Get his pencil and let’s get out of here”.
A little known fact is that people stayed teenagers well into their 30s back in the '50s.
+Nightweaver1 And into the 1960s on Dragnet.
I did not know that.

@@Renshen1957 And into the '70s on HAPPY DAYS, WELCOME BACK KOTTER and the movie GREASE!

@@Freebuscus Beatin' deficient childhood is a big contributor.
I think the purpose was to prompt a classroom discussion. These were discussion films produced for high school government classes.
'you boys haven't been movin' the stuff very well.'
What can you do about juvenile delinquency? Accuse your parents!
They laughed when I accused my parents and I killed them. Let’s see who is laughing now.
"It's the, Eye of the Ti--oh boy..."
You gotta love an educational short with a chase scene,
"Use the doors please instead of not using the doors, next thing you know you're beating up Gordon Jump."
"Just where is it you going, Jamie?"
"Crackhouse, why?"
"They flatten him!"
Lol!
Here's what I don't get: this gang mugs a guy, and they take his... pen? No wallet? No cash? No cards, IDs or other sensitive information?
Gangs were a lot more polite back then.
Well back then you had to sign for everything, so taking a pencil was a much bigger deal. No-one wants to use those piddly band pens.
Maybe they're starting with the small, odd crimes to practice for the real capers. Also, a pen is harder to trace back to you than a wallet or cash, unless it's personalized.
It's gotta be the Hays Code. Can't be giving mischievous young viewers any ideas about what's _actually_ worth stealing.

and music by the Royal Delinquent Orchestra
They beat up a guy who drove a Buick and the best they got off him was a pencil? The T-Birds from Grease had more street cred.
What about Juvenile Delinquency ?...that's a viable career option !
well it worked for Bobby Shmurda, until he got jailed...
"Heh heh heh...Shop 'n Save"

It crescendoed in the mid 50's. I think it was because teens now had their own cars for the first time.

Man, this original version of "Footloose" was really boring.
Im curious as to wheather this was an actual problem back then or if this was just something people made a bigger deal out of at the time.
I think it's more an exaggeration of "KIDS THESE DAYS DON'T RESPECT AUTHORITY!" every generation does
