Male criminal offenders’ experiences of schooling Cory, David Robert
Abstract
In-depth interviews using a Grounded Theory framework coupled with the Constant Comparative Method of data analysis were used to examine the schooling experiences of male criminal offenders. The subjects were four white males who had become involved in delinquent activities while in their adolescence during their school years. The findings indicate that factors associated with the subjects' families were the most influential in predisposing the subjects to alienation from the process of schooling and to involvement in delinquency. Some school based factors such as significant teachers and extra-curricular activities may serve to promote attachment to the schooling process.
