在文献中，辍学被广泛研究为负面生活结果的相关因素。辍学的前兆是逃学，即无理由或非法的学生缺课。很少有研究调查了逃学和参与犯罪之间的关系，以及在整个生命过程中更普遍的调整。这项研究扩展了之前的研究，利用剑桥不良发展研究的数据，探索12至14岁的逃学是否与以后的生活结果（如犯罪、攻击和适应）有关。结果表明，逃学与负面的生活结果有着长期的联系，尤其是非暴力犯罪和酗酒问题。重要的是，这些发现对控制环境和个人儿童风险因素的综合宿主的某些结果是有效的。
School dropout has been extensively studied in the literature as a correlate of negative life outcomes. A precursor to school dropout is truancy, the unexcused or illegitimate student absence from school. Few studies have examined the relationship between truancy and involvement in crime and adjustment more generally over the life-course. This study extends previous work by exploring whether truancy at age 12 to 14 is related to later life outcomes such as crime, aggression, and adjustment using data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development. Results indicate that truancy has long-lasting associations with negative life outcomes, especially for non-violent crime and problem drinking. Importantly, these findings hold for certain outcomes controlling for a comprehensive host of environmental and individual childhood risk factors.
