The relationship between vision and juvenile delinquency.
Vision disorders can be contributing causes of juvenile delinquency. Previous research is cited that illustrates this relationship. The author also reports his results obtained during a series of recent vision screenings of juvenile delinquents in a major metropolitan area. The results indicate a relatively high incidence of vision problems most of which dealt with poor binocularity. Excessive exophorias at near viewing distances were the most frequent reasons for failing the screening.
