本文讨论了有关分析学生出勤率与本科一年级核心犯罪学和刑事司法模块之间的关系以及他们在这些模块的第一次总结性评估课程任务中获得的成绩之间的关系的研究结果。这项研究是在提高学生保留率和尽量减少学业失败的背景下进行的。该研究发现了学生出勤率与成绩之间存在关联的证据。但它也指出，这种关联并不像预期的那么强大。该论文的结论是，其研究结果强调需要进一步考虑其他因素（例如入学资格、年龄、性别和个人情况），这些因素可能会影响学生取得的成绩。然而，最重要的是，有人认为，所提出的调查结果强调了教学部门在向高等教育过渡时积极支持犯罪学一年级学生的必要性，特别是考虑到英国当前围绕高等教育经费的经济环境。
This paper discusses the findings of research concerned with analysing the relationship between student attendance to core first year undergraduate criminology and criminal justice modules and the grades they receive in their first summative assessed coursework task for these modules. The research took place against the background of a concern with improving student retention and minimising academic failure. The research found evidence of an association between student attendance and grade outcomes. But it also notes that this association was not as strong as perhaps would have been expected. The paper concludes that its findings reinforce the need to further consider other factors (such as entry qualifications, age, gender and personal circumstance) which may well influence the grades students achieve. However, most importantly, it is argued that the findings presented reinforce the need for teaching departments to proactively support first year criminology students as they make the transition into higher education, particularly given the current economic climate surrounding higher education funding in the United Kingdom.
