Abstract	THE SUCCESSES AND FAILURES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD YOUTH CORPS (NYC) ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS JOURNAL ISSUE DEVOTED TO THE PROGRAM. IT IS NOTED THAT ALTHOUGH A LACK OF DATA MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO REALISTICALLY EVALUATE NYC, ITS ADMINISTRATORS STRONGLY DEFEND THE PROGRAM'S RECORD IN DECREASING DROPOUTS AND JUVENILE CRIME, AND IN IMPROVING SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, HIRING PRACTICES, AND CONTINUING EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM'S CRITICS, HOWEVER, MAINTAIN THAT THE NYC IS RIDDEN WITH POLITICAL MANIPULATION, FREQUENTLY OFFERS ONLY MENIAL WORK, AND OVER-EMPHASIZES SCHOOL PROGRAMS WHILE NEGLECTING OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROJECTS FOR JOBLESS YOUTH.
