lence victimization is known to disrupt the well-being as a
lt of the financial costs that could be associated with such
victimization of people.
en it comes to adolescent violence victimization, this is
sidered to be in a position to lead to economic distress,
ecially in the future.
y forms of exposure to violence among adolescents tend to
ger some premature entries when it comes to adult roles
could result in leaving school and, in turn, entering into
workforce.
several occasions, there has been framing of the
tionship
that
arises
between
violence
and
the
ioeconomic success of an individual as mere incarceration
which violence attempts to increase the chances that the
son might be institutionalized, leading to a reduction in
ortunities and options when it comes to the later
ievements.
has also been demonstrated that things like anti-social
aviors at a childhood stage predict some adverse outcomes
an individual's life later in life, like failures in educational
ters.
h the data from the first and third waves when it came to
National Longitudinal Study of the Health of Adolescent,
an be investigated that there is a close relation between
imization of adolescent violence and its influence on the
ited education achievements.
The purpose
of
this study was to:
To investigate
whether there is correlation between
education and victimization and offending.

Victimization and the Educational Attainment
•
Victimization tends to have a more significant
effect when it comes to the adolescent
individual.
•
This is so because such victimization of these
individuals could disrupt their later status
attainments by influencing the various
mechanisms known during such educational
attainment processes.
•
Another reason why such victimizations tend to
reduce an individual's success when it comes to
academic matters is that victimization during
the adolescent stage could trigger the premature
existence of individuals from the adolescent
stage to adulthood. This will also include the
shifts in mental health, dropping out of school to
join the workforce, pregnancies, and suicidality.
•
It could be even in the case that there will be a
likelihood of achieving future education
hindering economic success as a result of
running away from home.

EFERENCES

A
victimization and offending are closely
associated with cases of reduction in the
school achievements.
Adolescence violence could be associated
with the reductions when it came to
educational attainments.
Teens who are known to be violent are in a
position to either graduate from high
schools without even going to college or
drop of out of schools.

Bernburg and Krohn (2003) assessed to determine the life
course consequences of being labeled as offenders. From
his, it was investigated that formal interventions increase
he likelihood of delinquency and crime involvement.
Still, official interventions could trigger some events that
could reduce the possibilities of the offenders getting
employed in the future. These official interventions
reduce the chances that these offenders might graduate
from their high school levels, thereby suggesting that this
ndividual might remain unemployed for quite some time.
Such cases could contribute to instances of an individual
engaging in things like selling drugs.
Official interventions during the adolescent stage are
something that is known to lead to several forms of
llegitimate employment when an individual reaches the
adult stage. This is so as it could disrupt the various
forms of educational attainment that could lead to
sustained unemployment periods.
Bwenburg, Krohn and Rivera (2006) suggested that
ndividuals who tend to become incarcerated normally
get exposed to criminal activities and other deviant
behaviors that increase the likelihood of them offending
n the future.
PURPOSE
CORRELATION BETWEEN EDUCATION, VICTIMIZATION AND OFFENDING
M
ETHODS
•
The dependent variable was the educational achievement
levels of respondents.
•
Measurement was created through
the
use of Add Health
questionnaire
which was at Wave 3 and used to ask the
years In
education.
•
The
variable was then collapsed to determine
whether the
respondent has failed or not to
complete their high school..
•
There was also the use of offence perpetration measurement
which entailed the use of 5 item scale where the respondents
were asked if they have
ever engaged in activities like
carrying g weapons to school, whether they
have ever
stabbed someone, or shot someone or not.
•
At that 3 wave, there were
1203
respondents when iit came
to violence, with 600 being
seen as
offenders and victims
while 490
becoming victimized.

CONCLUSION
•
Victimizations and offending are known to
be something that constantly affects the
well-being of individuals.
•
Victimization and offending during the
adolescent period tend to result in economic
distress, especially in the future.
•
There are also cases where victimization
triggers the premature exits of individuals
from the adolescent stage to adulthood that
will entail even shifting of the mental
health, school dropouts and pregnancies.
•
Offending could also be correlated with
educational achievements as a result of the
official interventions adopted by
individuals, such as involvement in drugs
leading to school dropouts.
