It is the purpose of this paper to examine, briefly, the Crime Commission's proposals for the establishment of youth services bureaus. The aim of this examination is to lay the foundation for a discussion of the nature and role of these bureaus, the type of cases with which they should deal, the bureaus' significance in the pattern of juvenile services, and some of the problems which must be considered by those concerned with the implementation of the scheme.
