Extract

During World War II considerable attention was given by the War Office to problems of delinquency in the Army and a number of psychiatric investigations were carried out with the ultimate aim of reducing the rate of military delinquency. Some of this work was specifically concerned with the relationship between mental abnormality (mental disorder and defect) and military delinquency. The purpose of this paper is to survey the unpublished reports, together with the published literature, and point to general conclusions.
