He gives them their own style of heroism and morality, and refuses to attribute their criminal tendencies to a rigid school system or strict parents, finding instead also a natural youthful rebelliousness.
他們的叛逆性並不完全來自教育制度或家庭問題，而是出自血氣方剛的青年特質。因此在刻畫有犯罪傾向的青少年時，不會一廂情願地同情、歸咎於嚴厲的父親或愛慕虛榮的母親。感覺上他的創作觀點十分自由、寬廣。
