Abstract
The main reason for designing this research was to capture school and social exclusion with young people who are to become juvenile offenders. A qualitative approach was used, with methods as narratives, focus groups and depth interviews. The people whom we worked, was those who are being held in the detention center in Zacatecas, for the commission of crime. Results showed that low education level juvenile offender, has a school life with traits such as lack of interest, poor grades, no relationship between classroom content and daily life; very aggressive teachers, and influenced by peer groups. Their life is a reproduction of familiar academic history. Among the factors that influence them in school dropout were economics, lack of interest, poor performance, behavioral problems, while the factors that influence the offenses were drug abuse, domestic violence, precarious families dissociated. Findings point to a strong relationship between school dropout and commission of crime.
