Title : They were not born delinquents - Yves Roumajon - book
Summary :
— What are your full name, age, and profession? — Roumajon Yves, 62, psychiatrist. — You have been appointed to examine the accused and conduct the psychiatric examination. You swear to report your research and findings on your honor and conscience. Raise your right hand and say: "I swear it"... Dr. Roumajon has spent long hours facing strange characters like Claude Buffet, twice murdered, sentenced to death and guillotined, Patrick Henry, murderer of a child, who saved his life in Troyes after a trial that divided France, Lucien Léger, "the Strangler," Jean-Charles Willoquet, Pierre Goldman, an example of an astonishing reconversion. He has also listened to the confidences of hundreds of children who populate the neighborhood reserved for them in Fresnes and those he welcomed into the center he founded in Vauhallan, near Paris. Through these stories - some of which are heartbreaking - what he shows is the incredible waste that is made because society and public opinion stick to ready-made ideas about juvenile delinquency, the relationship between psychiatry and justice, the sentences that should be applied, the appropriate treatments.
