Abstract
ABSTRACT One of the most important correlates explaining youth and adult crime is the educational attainment of offenders. Research has established a relationship between lack of school attachment, dropout and delinquency; and special educational interventions have helped reduce delinquent behavior. This paper examines the roles of education and corrections in crime reduction and examines data on government spending for education and corrections. The huge increase in dollars going to prisons seemingly at the expense of reduced educational funding raises serious questions about our long-term policy for crime reduction.
