The Jack-Roller: A Delinquent Boy's Own Story (Phoenix Books)
The Jack-Roller tells the story of Stanley, a pseudonym Clifford Shaw gave to his informant and co-author, Michael Peter Majer.
Stanley was sixteen years old when Shaw met him in 1923 and had recently been released from the Illinois State Reformatory at Pontiac, after serving a one-year sentence for burglary and jack-rolling (mugging), Vivid, authentic, this is the autobiography of a delinquent—his experiences, influences, attitudes, and values.
The Jack-Roller helped to establish the life-history or "own story" as an important instrument of sociological research.
