The visual media, especially movies, are appealing to youth with their rapid presentation of visual images of immediate gratification and unbridled pursuit of materialism. As social class differences in America widen, movies may serve both as a reflection of the social psychology of juvenile delinquency and as an etiologic factor in the development of such wayward youth. This paper examines some current aspects of the sociology and psychology of juvenile delinquency, and presents the historical significance of movies since the 1930s as both a visual representation and causative factor in the social psychology of delinquent youth.
视觉媒体，尤其是电影，以其快速呈现即时满足的视觉图像和对物质主义的无节制追求吸引着年轻人。随着美国社会阶层差异的扩大，电影可能既是青少年犯罪社会心理的一种反映，也是这类任性青少年成长过程中的一个病因。本文探讨了青少年犯罪社会学和心理学的一些当前方面，并呈现了自20世纪30年代以来电影作为青少年犯罪社会心理的一种视觉表现和致病因素的历史意义。
