abstract="This paper examines the suspensions and expulsions of students. Using individual student pupil (rather than incident) data, this research examines whether these rates are driven by a few high-volume offenders and whether high-volume offenders become felons. This study uses the number of students at three levels of violations: 0 offenses, 1-3 offenses, and four or more offenses. The authors also examined the relationship between the three groups of violators and committing a felony as a juvenile. The number of offenses per student ranged from 0 to 31. <br><br>FINDINGS indicated that those with 0 school infractions had no felonies, while the other two groups of violators 1-3 and four or more had a similar numbers of felonies. Implications for developmental models of delinquency are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
