Der Berkeley-Kriminologe Anthony Platt wurde bekannt durch sein Buch "The Child Savers" (1969).
Er kritisierte die Erfindung der Jugenddelinquenz durch das Child Savers Movement: “the child savers should in no sense be considered libertarians or humanists". According to Anthony Platt, the child-saving movement came from the upper and middle classes who were instrumental in incorporating new methods of social control on a largely immigrant class—the immigrant class was seen as inferior to the typical Protestant white ethic that comprised most of America.
Man denke an: indiscriminate arrest, indeterminate sentencing, military drill, and hard labor as the concrete results of their reforms.
