Deficiency and Delinquency: An Interpretation of Mental Testing, published in 1918 by James Burt Miner, explores the connection between mental deficiency and juvenile delinquency. The book emphasizes the importance of psychological testing, particularly the Binet scale, in diagnosing intellectual deficiencies and understanding their societal implications. Miner proposes a percentage-based system for categorizing individuals based on mental capacity, aiming to provide clearer assessments for social care and addressing the challenges of defining feeble-mindedness.
