The Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice recently partnered with the Arlington Independent School District to reduce teen truancy. Assistant Professor Jaya Davis and 10 of her students spent two to four hours a week with an AISD attendance officer assisting in home visits with truant students and their families, court preparation, and data analysis. Truancy can lead to suspension, expulsion, dropping out of school, delinquency, and legal troubles.
