Drugs and the Youthful Police Informer
Abstract
The authors describe the problems of adolescents who gave false information to police about drug abuse in their communities. Such patients were invariably lonely and isolated from their families and peers; their informing gained them immediate response and approval from adults. Environmental change, while it may alleviate their problems, is difficult to achieve. Early detection can prevent later difficulties.
