Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Contributing to delinquency" is also a broad term involving conduct toward a child in an unlimited variety of ways which tends to produce or to encourage or to continue conduct of the child which would amount to delinquent conduct. [Emphasis added].”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Any person who contributes to the delinquency of any child to whom the jurisdiction of any juvenile court within this Commonwealth has attached or shall hereafter attach or who knowingly assists or encourages such child in violating his or her parole or any order of the said court shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. . . . Contributing to delinquency is also a broad term involving conduct toward a child in an unlimited variety of ways which tends to produce or encourage or to continue the conduct of the child which would amount to delinquent conduct.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
