Exploring the Relationship Between Educational Attainment and Crime Presented: Chicago IL, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2012 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Crime; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Educational Attainment; High School Diploma Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Lower levels of education have been associated with several negative life outcomes, such as higher unemployment and public assistance rates, as well as increased levels of substance abuse, delinquency and crime. While prior studies have focused on the relationship between dropping out of high school and delinquency, there has been little research that has explored the association between delinquency and additional levels of educational attainment. This study seeks to further investigate this relationship. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, I will examine the relationship between crime and educational attainment for the Forgotten Half, those individuals whose highest level of education is a high school diploma. Implications for theory and policy will be discussed. |
