“…Scholars have established a connection between educational attainment and overall life chances for young people (Buchmann and Hannum 2001;Forsman et al 2016;Nilsson and Estrada 2009;Oreopoulos and Salvanes 2011). These studies have pointed to how educational achievement contributes to further competences as well as behaviours, expectations and aspirations (e.g., Hirschfield 2017;Little et al 2013;Payne et al 2015). High levels of education not only contribute to a positive development for individuals but also have positive effects for society in general, both in regard to financial benefits and resources in the form of skilled labour (Falch and Strøm 2013;OECD 2012).…”

Background Research has established a strong relationship between education and later life outcomes, where the connection between different school problems and delinquency have been widely acknowledged. These studies have often sampled male juvenile offenders exhibiting extensive and/or persistent delinquency. Less is known about the educational attainment of female juvenile offenders, especially those who display limited delinquency. In a previous study (Azad and Ginner Hau in Child Youth Serv Rev 95:384-396, 2018), the characteristics of this particular group of offenders were explored where the results showed limited self-reported delinquency but elevated school problems. Objective The present aim was to conduct a follow-up study of the same sample of female adolescents, in order to study their educational attainment during adolescence and the rate of recidivism within 24 months after being sentenced through registry data. Method The sample consisted of adolescent females (N = 144) who were convicted of a crime and sentenced to youth service between 2007 and 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden. Results The results showed that the majority of the females did not reoffend within 2 years after being sentenced. They did, however, display high educational deficits. Their grade point average at the end of both compulsory education and upper secondary school was much lower than that of young females in general, and the majority had either dropped out, never begun or received zero in all subjects at the end of upper secondary school. Conclusions The low school results indicate a need to support young delinquent females' educational attainment in order to improve their overall life chances.

“…In the case of the Korean War, Little underlines the significance of the so-called two-man buddy system, the possibility provided by the US Army for volunteers to enlist together with their friends. 8 One of the most influential military historians of the twentieth century and recent times, John Keegan accepts this approach, although he adds further elements to it. In his influential book The Face of Battle, Keegan cites another military historian, Brigadier General Samuel Lyman Atwood Marshall, who referred to losing one's reputation among one's pals as the most crucial motivating factor for combat soldiers.…”

Twelve Hungarian volunteers have been identified so far among the 2,500 pro-Boerforeign volunteers who were ready to sacrifice their lives in the war between the Boerrepublics and the British Empire (1899–1902). The overwhelming majority of thesevolunteers travelled to South Africa to join the commandos of the Boers following theescalation of the conflict. Tibor Péchy was one of the Hungarian combatants, but incontrast with the other Hungarian volunteers, he had been living in South Africa since1896. This makes him a special Hungarian participant of the Anglo-Boer War. The presentpaper analyses the motivating factors behind Péchy’s enlistment with the Boers.
