Citations in the corpus

• School Suspensions and Adverse Experiences in Adulthood (2017, background): “Sweeten (2006) demonstrated a correlation between juvenile justice involvement and failing to graduate, and Hirschfield (2009) demonstrated a link between being arrested and dropping out of school.”
• Labeling and Cumulative Disadvantage (2012, background): “Consistent with these observations, labeling decreases the likelihood of success in the educational arena (Bernburg, 2002; Bernburg & Krohn, 2003; Hjalmarsson, 2008; Menard & Morse, 1984; Sweeten, 2006).”
