Explanation of the Post

Scientific evidence has been found that affirms the relationship between school absenteeism and delinquency.
We believe that this is an important issue for society in general, because from these data we can create prevention policies.
If we prevent young people from dropping out of school, we are at the same time preventing them from becoming future delinquents, thus preventing crimes that can affect all citizens.
