Studies investigating the link between antisocial behaviours and heredity became prominent as early as the 18th century. Early criminologists believed that deviant behaviours can be transmitted across generations. One of the famous family studies is the Juke family tree. This topic is usually expounded in various criminology and criminal justice schools in various countries. However, some criminology students are misled as to the details of the aforementioned family tree investigation. Hence, this video is made to somehow correct the underlying blunders of the topic.
This video highlights the beginnings of the investigation as well as the misnomer on the leading character, Ada Juke.
Study on the Juke family tree was spearheaded by Richard L. Dugdale, a sociologist and a prison reformer. Dugdale had an interest in linking criminality with heredity after he was appointed by the Prison Association of New York to make inspections which provided him with the chance to interview personalities and research on prison records (Bryan, 2010). Thereby he discovered six inmates who were blood-related and this, in turn, intrigued him as he perceived a pattern of criminal inheritance. He launched a more in-depth investigation of the Juke family tree tracing back six generations leading him to an early Dutch settler Max Juke. Dugdale started his study on the five daughters of Max Juke, Ada, Bell, Clara, Delia, and Effie
