Reports results of 1962/63 study of social economic and emotional make-up of over one hundred financially over-extended Detroit area families, 34% of whom are black.
Through questionnaires studies family characteristics, and nature of crime committed by boys who have had two or more court hearings, living in two inner city Detroit areas.
Finds in families with roughly similar outcomes, "Negro wives are generally more involved in the economic decision of their families than are white wives."
