DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Vittorio De Sica Italy

His neorealist masterpieces like 'Bicycle Thieves' and 'Shoeshine' profoundly depict how poverty and social desperation drive children and youth toward crime and moral corruption.

 François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical 'The 400 Blows' is a tender yet unflinching examination of adolescent alienation, institutional failure, and the spiral into juvenile delinquency.
