    • Abstract:
      This article examines juvenile delinquency, environment, and race in the War on Poverty's approach to urban poverty—especially in Los Angles—during the 1960s. It focuses on the role played by the Youth Conservation Corps program that sent "at-risk" youth into western public lands to be reformed and, ostensibly, to be trained as future breadwinners.
