“…A substantial amount of research has investigated the correlates of truancy at both the individual and social levels. At the individual level, findings indicate that truants are more likely to be male (Garry, 1996; Williams, 1927), dislike school (Attwood & Croll, 2006), and have low achievement in school (Farrington, 1980; Vaughn, Maynard, Salas-Wright, Perron, & Abdon, 2013). At the social level, truants tend to come from families with low income (Attwood & Croll, 2006; Galloway, 1983), receive less parental attention (Farrington, 1980, 1996; Teasley, 2004), and live in disadvantaged neighborhoods (Crowder & South, 2003; Farrington, 1980).…”
