Runaways in History
Lipschutz, Mark R.
Crime and Delinquency, 23, 3, 321-32, Jul 77
Although running away is a glorified part of American folk tradition, today's runaway runs afoul of a host of laws, including those which make the act itself illegal. This article examines the history of the social and legal status of youth and why they run away. (Author)
