Truancy is any intentional, unjustified, unauthorized, or illegal absence from compulsory education . It is a deliberate absence by a student's own free will and usually does not refer to legitimate excused absences, such as ones related to medical conditions.

Anthropological criminology was popularized by Cesare Lombroso in

This idea was associated with a larger trend in the western world toward social democracy and centre-left politics . Through most of history, reporting of crime was generally local.
