Arthur Miller says that Vincent Riccio is the only man he has ever met who has the three qualities required to work with juvenile delinquents: a deep love for kids, a psychological understanding of their needs, and the guts to walk into battlefield conditions unarmed.For five years Riccio worked with the New York City Youth Board. For five years he shared the life of kids who took dope, who robbed, and fought, and sometimes murdered.Riccio fought with the leaders of the gangs to bring them under control, but he had to fight the system at the same time-the ineffective social workers, sadistic police, callous officials.His experience is not a success story, but it is a constructive shocker that could stimulate action.....
Autoren-Porträt von Vincent Riccio
VINCENT ANTHONY RICCIO was born in 1919 in Brooklyn, New York, the fifteenth of twenty-one children, six of whom lived. His father, a barber, died when he was eleven, and he spent the next few years living off home relief and whatever odd jobs he could pick up while struggling to get an undistinguished high-school education. He never starved ("My mother could make spaghetti last forever"), but he was hungry. And he stole. Food. He was a member of a kid gang and fought in their fights, but "always with sticks and now and then baseball bats. But no knives, guns or Molotov cocktails."He was a product of the neighborhood in which he later tried to help kid gangsters.
Mr. Riccio received his training in education from Teachers College at Columbia University and became known for his work with street gangs and young drug addicts. He was dean of boys at John Jay High School in Brooklyn, where he often found himself involved in gang situations.
