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 stage 410 0$aCriminal Justice: Recent Scholarship 606 $aEducation and crime$zUnited States 606 $aHigh school dropouts$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aCriminals$zUnited States 615 0$aEducation and crime 615 0$aHigh school dropouts$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aCriminals 676 $a364.30973 700 $aLiu$b Weiwei$f1979-$01805524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955770903321 996 $aThe adult offending and school dropout nexus$94354164 997 $aUNINA
