child saving movement  

Definición

  • The child savers were a group of reformers in 19th-century Chicago who created the first juvenile court in the United States and developed the model for a separate juvenile justice system that is widely in use around the world today. The child savers hoped to care for and reform delinquent, neglected, and dependent children, helping them to lead lives of conformity and thereby preventing future crimes.
