TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The relationship between academic achievement and likelihood of police arrest among delinquents JO - International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology A1 - Yun, Ilhong A1 - Cheong, Jinseong A1 - Walsh, Anthony SP - 607 EP - 631 VL - 58 IS - 5 N2 - Drawing upon a recent study on the association between low self-control and differential responses from the criminal justice system, this study examined whether academic performance, a construct linked to self-control, was also associated with the probability of police arrest. The result indicated that academic performance did have a statistically significant inverse association with the likelihood of police arrest, net of low self-control and delinquency.
