Through no fault of their own, many poor children have trouble getting to school on time and so are counted as absent. Under zero-tolerance policies, when a student accumulates a set number of absences, she may be expelled from school, labeled as "delinquent," and referred to court. This series of events may set the stage for turning a "good kid" into a "bad kid." Within a few years--or months--the child may come to think of herself as a delinquent. Unable to attend classes because she has been barred from public school and unable to find legitimate work because she lacks the credentials and skills employers demand, she may turn to stealing, drug dealing, or other criminal activities in order to prove her worth and earn money. Her illegal activities may result in incarceration. Which

concept best captures this trajectory? A. the school-to-prison pipeline B. structural functionalism C. feminism D. atrophic association
