In regards to juvenile delinquency, truancy cases are minor offenses in court, although it can cause major issues in the future.

The average cost of a uniform in England for a high school student is, according to The Department of Education, £212.88, slightly less for a primary student at £192.14.

The results were not consistent with the results from previous studies. A possible reason for these results could be that truancy and running away are both acts which an individual does more by him/herself, and peer attachment may not have a huge effect on either of these status offenses. The element of belief was found to be significantly related to truancy and running away which is consistent with Hirschi’s Social Control Theory. Previous research done by Wiatrowski, Griswold,…

In the three bills S. 1169, H.R. 5963, and S.B. 527 there has been nothing but positive things, and tons of support.

Tim’s progress this reporting period has had peaks and valleys. He has worked through the shame and guilt he first experienced when he began his treatment with this provider, and appears to have come to terms with his offending behaviors and that this is a part of his who he is, but it does not have to define him. This has manifested in his overall presence during individual treatment as well as the treatment group. He is alert, ready to discuss his challenges, how he uses what he has learned…

The truancy rules on kids not going to school should stay the same as they are as of right now. There are many different reasons why I say that but here are a few of them. People get sick, and you can't come to school if you are sick. Another one is that a lot of kids have counseling or court or some kind of appointment that causes them to miss school. One other thing is that even if that law is enforced they should not fine the parent for their children missing school. The first reason they…
