Clifford Shaw
Clifford Robe Shaw (1895 – 1957) was an American sociologist and criminologist. He was a major figure in the
Chicago School of
sociology during the 1930s and 1940s, and is considered to be one of the most influential figures in American
criminology. His work on
juvenile delinquency with
Henry D. McKay, conducted in the late 1920s, played a pivotal role in moving the study of such delinquency toward the discipline of
sociology, and away from
psychology and
psychiatry. Shaw and McKay's work spanned three general areas: studying geographic variation in rates of juvenile delinquency, the study of autobiographical works by delinquents, and the development of the
Chicago Area Project, a delinquency prevention program in the
Chicago area related to his
Social Disorganization theory. The two studies published by Shaw and McKay in the 1930s and 1940s were still held in high regard among social scientists in the 1970s.
