Effects of High School Delinquency on Educational Attainment and Adult Occupational Status Sociological Perspectives 32,3 (Autumn 1989): 413-418. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1389126 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: University of California Press Keyword(s): Delinquency/Gang Activity; Educational Attainment; Occupational Attainment; Occupational Status; Work Experience This paper analyzes the impact of high school delinquency on adult occupational status. Using data from the NLS of Young Men, it was found that high school delinquency negatively affects educational attainment. However, when controlling for years of schooling attained and other background variables, high school delinquency does not significantly shape adult occupational status. If high school delinquents are able to obtain as much schooling as others, their past delinquency does not exert a negative independent effect on occupational achievement. |
