Is due to the fact that In Europe the father is still the head of the house and "the child who repects his father and mother. too. will respect his teacher. the laws of his coxintry. the policemen. the elders around him." If It were not for my own inherent respect for the learning and for the authority of a judge. I would be tempted to say. "What nonsense." The Judge Leibowitz Idea is nothing new. Over 40 years ago the social workers in the New York settlement houses discussed the same problem: "Why do some children of immigrants become gangsters. while their brothers and cousins in the old country continue to tend the sheep. help their fathers. read the Torah. or serve the priests at the masses of a thousand cities and villages of Ireland. Sicily. and Calabria?" Judge Leibowitz says that the remedy Is a return to parental authority. on a basis of "father knows best." We must make the father the boss again like in the Old Country. and that will cure juvenile delinquency. What happened to the broken homes bit?
