title: The relationship between vision and juvenile delinquency.
abstract: 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.
