Citations in the corpus

• Parental perspectives of the role of school factors in school refusal (2014, background): “Malcolm et al. (2003) showed that parents perceived the main causes for their children’s truancy to be bullying, problems with teachers and pressure from fellow students, while teachers believed that parental attitudes and home environments were the main reasons.”
• The Causes, Views and Traits of School Absenteeism and Truancy (2005, background): “Each year the Chief Inspectors for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland report on their findings, which includes responsibility for school attendance.”
• School Non‐attendance: Definitions, meanings, responses, interventions (2007, background): “While the school environment has not often come under scrutiny as a contributing risk factor, some studies over the years have considered the role schools can have in promoting good attendance, but also in precipitating and maintaining ‘extended school non-attendance’ (Elliott & Place, 1998; Lauchla”
• The causes of non‐attendance: an empirical study (2008, background): “Presently, it focuses teachers’ attention on ways of presenting and/or massaging the statistics (because of the ‘‘pressure’’ of league tables) rather than seeking solutions for the attendance problem (Reid 2002; Malcolm et al. 2003).”
• Assessing Reasons for School Non-attendance (2015, background): “Malcolm et al. (2003) found that females were truant more than males during the seventh to ninth grades where all the students are white, and boys were more likely to truant during the seventh and eighth grades in mixed-race schools.”
• School factors associated with school refusal- and truancy-related reasons for school non-attendance (2015, background): “Other studies, however, indicate victimization to be frequent also among truant students (Malcolm et al. 2003; Reid 2005; Gastic 2008; Kinder et al. 1995, 1996).”
