In his speech, Mr.. Bove outlined
an eight-point plan for preventing
and handling problems of juvenile
delinquency in Delaware and pro-
missed that, If elected, he would
strive to put this plan in effect.
Mr.. Bove said that this is not a
program that the office of the at
torney general could undertake in
full or on its own but he explained
that after much study of the juve-
nile delinquency problem in a num-
ber of sections of the state, he was
convinced that this is program
that should be undertaken by all
agencies concerned and that the
office of the attorney general
should join in the movement to-
ward translating it into actuality
He also said:
Il am not so naive as to believe
for one moment that juvenile de-
linduency can be wiped out any
more than adult crime can, but /
firmly believe that we can do more
to prevent and treat Juvenile de-
linquency than we are doing now.
A beginning base is what / have
outlined"

of the establishment of "a maxi
mum security building" for the
more aggressive and hardened ju-
venile delinquents where they
would receive the required disci-
pIine and treatment.

curity building" for the so-called
hardened and very tough young de-
linquents has been plaguing the
State Department of Corrections

venile delinquents.
