A study of juvenile delinquency written with Yves Charrier and published by Mercure de France in 1971 as Jeunesse délinquante: une expérience en province; a second edition, subtitled Des blousons noirs aux hippies, was published in Nantes by AREFPPI in 1985. It comes out of Ellul's involvement in prevention work with young people in the Bordeaux area and sets that experience against his analysis of modern society. It has not been translated into English.
