Juvenile misbehavior is a social problem that affects all members of society, young and old, at some time in their lives.  This text analyzes delinquent behavior and its causal context.  A new delinquency is emerging, and this book studies its major characteristics.  Substance abuse (both drugs and alcohol), attitudes about adolescent sexuality, the specter of AIDS, an increase in "senseless violence," the burgeoning of middle- and upper-class delinquency (not only in numbers but in patterns of delinquency) - all these factors have become entwined with delinquent behavior and have become an intrinsic part of the overall delinquency problem.  This has necessitated a complete rewriting of this book, the Fourth Edition, which, like its predecessors, benefits from the author's direct involvement with delinquents as a licensed therapist, as well as his research as a sociologist..

Extramarital sex has long defied serious examination. Kinsey was unable to get his subjects to fully cooperate on this critical aspect of their sexual life. Noted sociologist Dr. Lewis Yablonsky has conducted the first major survey, in which he probes the intimate feelings, motivations and reactions of over 1000 men to establish the many provocative questions raised by and about "extra-sex." The vivid, in-depth case histories in The Extra-Sex Factor detail in the men's own words why they decide to have affairs, how they conduct them, and how they relate them to their marriage. The candor of the men is matched by Yablonsky's startling conclusions, which reveal the degree to which society has ignored the realities of male sexuality.
