With contributions by O. C. Mazengarb
"Report of the Special Committee on Moral Delinquency in Children and Adolescents" is an inquiry report published in 1954. Known as the Mazengarb Report, it investigated youth sexual behavior in New Zealand following a teenage girl's confession about a "Milk Bar Gang." The committee delivered twenty-seven conclusions and twenty recommendations addressing sexual immorality, censorship, parenting, and social welfare. Distributed to every household nationwide, it remains a defining example of moral panic in 1950s New Zealand society.
