Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Women Delinquents in New York State To a peculiar degree the investigation of which this book is the report was a composite piece of work, the difficulties and problems of which were shared by all the individuals of the group concerned in its accomplishment. It would be impossible to acknowledge with any adequacy the special contribution which each person made. We may, however, indicate the general lines along which the work was divided. The following members of the staff were responsible for the psychological examinations: Mary H. S. Hayes, Mabel R. Fernald, Jessie J. Taft, Buford J. Johnson, Margaret V. Cobb. The task of social investigation was carried through by the following: Almena Dawley (in charge of investigations for Bedford and Auburn), Virginia P. Robinson (in charge of investigations for the city institutions), Veda Elvin, Marie Lawrence, Mabel C. Huschka, Grace Massonneau, Maude W. Moore. The general plan of statistical treatment was mapped out by Beardsley Ruml, who acted as consultant on statistical problems arising throughout the study. The detailed work of statistical analysis and computation was under the supervision of Mary A. Clark. The following members of the staff assisted in this phase of the work: Agnes Crowley, Christine Brigham, Helen Towey, Marjorie Taft, Louise Russell. For the statements as actually formulated in this book, the three authors assume entire responsibility. While there has been necessarily much overlapping of work in the compilation of the book. Miss Dawley was mainly responsible for the sociological portions, Mrs. Hayes and Miss Fernald for the psychological. We have noted in Chapter II our indebtedness to the authorities in the various institutions who made possible this investigation through their interest and cooperation.
