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.

有限的研究调查了参与司法公正的年轻人中，不同形式的学校排斥与犯罪之间的关联，以及这些关联根据第一次排斥事件的年龄而变化。本研究使用来自“通往疾病的途径”研究的数据，研究了悬浮，驱逐和再犯之间的关联以及首次悬浮/驱逐和再犯时的年龄之间的关联。根据考克斯比例风险模型，驱逐和悬浮频率都增加了再犯的风险；初次吊销的年龄与累犯无关，与童年时期初被驱逐的年轻人相比，童年时期初被驱逐的年轻人显着降低了再犯的可能性。
