About this listen

 The True Adventures of Junior G-Men was a radio show that featured true crime stories from the FBI. The show was hosted and produced by Melvin Purvis, a former FBI agent who later became a Hollywood star.






The Junior G-Men was a program that was part of a larger "war on crime" campaign that was promoted by the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover. The program was designed to give boys a sense of participating in the adult world of crime-fighting. The Junior G-Men clubs were supported by police departments and non-profit organizations, and their activities were intended to instill law-abiding attitudes in children.







The Junior G-Men franchise also included a book, Junior 'G' Men's Own Mystery Stories, and a big little book by Morrell Massey and Henry E. Vallely. The Junior G-Men eventually also appeared in movies.
