Abstract
Limited research has examined the associations between different forms
of school exclusion and offending, and variation in these associations
according to age of first exclusionary event, among justice-involved
youth. Using data from the Pathways to Desistance Study, the current
study examined the associations between suspension, expulsion, and
recidivism and the association between age at first suspension/expulsion
and recidivism. According to Cox proportional hazard models, both
expulsion and frequency of suspension increased risk of recidivism; age
at first suspension was not associated with recidivism, and youth who
were first expelled in childhood were significantly less likely to recidivate
than youth first expelled in adolescence. Results suggest juvenile justice
and educational systems should provide collaborative services to better
support justice-involved youth.
