High school graduation is individually experienced and especially beneficial to those at high risk of dropping out. It also redirects adult offending trajectories by opening opportunities for experiencing adulthood turning point such as employment and romantic relationships. Liu's work provides empirical support for life course criminology and expands our knowledge about turning points by emphasizing that these events may occur at different stageCriminal Justice: Recent ScholarshipEducation and crimeUnited StatesHigh school dropoutsUnited StatesSocial conditionsCriminalsUnited StatesEducation and crimeHigh school dropoutsSocial conditions.Criminals364.30973Liu Weiwei1979-1471383MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786291703321The adult offending and school dropout nexus3683673UNINA
