The participants in the 44 Thieves study, conducted by psychologist John Bowlby, were drawn from a children's home in London. Specifically, the study focused on children who had been identified as being emotionally disturbed, where Bowlby examined their relationships with their caregivers and the impact of separation on their behavior. The study aimed to investigate the links between maternal deprivation and the development of antisocial behavior in these children.
