“…A number of young people offend and become involved in antisocial behaviour following exclusion from school (Rutter et al 1979;Gray et al 1996;Ball & Connolly 2000;McCrystal et al 2005a). This is of particular concern because of the increasing numbers of young people being excluded from school during the past decade (Department for Education andEmployment 1999a, 1999b).…”

Young people excluded from school are a group at an increased risk of drug use and antisocial behaviour during adolescence and later marginalisation and exclusion from society in adulthood. As part of the Belfast Youth Development Study, a longitudinal study of the onset and development of adolescent drug use, young people who entered post-primary school in 2000 (aged 11/12 years) were surveyed annually on four occasions. This paper reports on findings from this survey in relation to a supplementary group of young people who were surveyed because they had been excluded from school. The findings show higher levels of drug use and antisocial behaviour among school excludees, lower levels of communication with their parents/guardians, higher levels of contact with the criminal justice system and increased likelihood of living in communities characterised with neighbourhood disorganisation. This lifestyle perhaps suggests these young people are leading a life that is already taking them towards the margins of society.

“…Auch der oftmals nachgewiesene Zusammenhang zwischen Schulverweigerung und anderen Formen abweichenden Verhaltens (z.B. Glueck und Glueck 1950;Ball und Connolly 2000;Burgess et al 2002) sowie die Bedeutung der Schulverweigerung als Risikofaktor einer dauerhaften kriminellen Karriere (Hibbett et al 1990;Furgusson et al 1995) verweisen auf die Wirksamkeit der allgemeinen Orientierung an konventionellen Werten und Normen. 4 H6: Je stärker konventionelle Normen und Werte internalisiert sind, desto geringer das Ausmaß der Schulverweigerung.…”

Zusammenfassung: Ziel des Beitrags ist es, das Ausmaß der Schulverweigerung in Köln zu bestimmen und zu erklären. Aus klassischen Theorien abweichenden Verhaltens (Kontrolltheorie, Anomietheorie, Theorie der städtischen Subkultur) werden Hypothesen abgeleitet und empirisch über-prüft. Dies geschieht mit Daten aus einer Untersuchung von Kölner Schülern der achten bis zehnten Klassen aus dem Jahr 1999, die das Max-Planck-Institut für internationales und ausländisches Strafrecht in Freiburg durchgeführt hat. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass 7,9 Prozent aller Schüler und Schülerinnen den Schulverweigerern zuzurechnen sind, Jungen häufiger als Mädchen und ältere Schüler häufiger als jüngere. Wichtiger als Geschlecht und Jahrgangsstufe ist die Schulform: Massive Schulschwänzer sind vor allem bei den Haupt-und Sonderschülern anzutreffen. Die empirischen Analysen zeigen, dass zur Erklärung der Schulverweigerung mehrere Theorien herangezogen werden müssen.

“…In addition, there is a void in the social psychological literature as to how male and female juvenile delinquents utilize these attribution errors. A careful review of research literature on violence indicates that numerous variables exist that contribute to an adolescent's propensity towards violence (Archwamety & Katsiyannis, 2000;Ball & Connolly, 2000;Carr & Vandiver, 2001;Chesney-Lind & Sheldon, 1992;Goff & Goddard, 1999;Matza, 1964;Stoiber, 1998;Sutherland & Shepherd, 2002;Tanner et al, 1999;Waytowich & Onwuegbuzie, 2007;Welsh et al, 2000). Inasmuch as self-esteem and peer-victimization are useful constructs in predicting adolescent violence (Egan & Perry, 1998;Kaplan et al, 1982;Sutherland & Shepherd, 2002), the current research suggests that violence attribution errors may mediate the relationship between self-esteem and at-risk behaviors, in addition to the association between peer-victimization and at-risk behaviors.…”

“…Although numerous studies have been conducted on key indicators of risk that identify a youth to be on a potential path to delinquency such as poverty, poor self-concept, association with delinquent peers, drug use, physical and sexual abuse, poor parenting, truancy, and poor educational performance (Archwamety & Katsiyannis, 2000;Ball & Connolly, 2000;Carr & Vandiver, 2001;Chesney-Lind & Sheldon, 1992;Goff & Goddard, 1999;Matza, 1964;Stoiber, 1998;Tanner, Davies, & O'Grady, 1999;Waytowich & Onwuegbuzie, 2007;Welsh, Stokes, & Greene, 2000), scant research has been paid attention to predictors of violence attribution errors. Because violence attribution errors have been found to predict acts of violence (Daley & Onwuegbuzie, 2002/2003, it is expected that identifying antecedents of violence attribution errors likely would increase our understanding of why adolescents engage in delinquent behaviors in general and acts of violence in particular.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of violence attribution errors among female adolescent delinquents in the United States. Also of interest was to compare female delinquents' violence attribution error rate to that of their male counterparts who were participating in the same delinquency intervention programs. A third purpose was to identify predictors (i.e., attitudes toward violence, peer victimization, self-esteem, demographic variables) of violence attribution errors. Participants were 181 juvenile delinquents (28.2% female) who participated in two delinquency intervention programs located in Florida during the 2005-2006 year. Findings revealed no statistically significant difference in violence attribution error rate between male (52.7%) and female (46.5%) juvenile delinquents. A multiple regression analysis identified six variables that predicted the violence attribution error rate. The Implications of the findings are discussed.
