I tried looking for stats a long time ago - but haven't ever seen anything really convincing pre or post-code.
There was the Baby Boom - so there were more children, I guess, but well researched per capita juvenile crime rates would be interesting to see for sure!
I think the popular generalization of post-war America was that there was move towards puritan values - traditional gender rolls - cleaner roll models. I guess more children meant more families and more "family values". The Red scare was an influence to some degree - I'd argue.
