What is a truancy order in criminology?

A truancy order is a court order typically issued to parents or guardians of a child who has been habitually absent from school without a valid excuse. It typically requires the parent or guardian to ensure the child attends school regularly or face legal consequences. Truancy orders aim to address and prevent truancy, which is often associated with delinquency and youth crime.


How much time in jail can an adult spend for unpaid truancy fines in pa?

In Pennsylvania, failure to pay truancy fines can lead to potential jail time, but it is typically a last resort. Adults who are fined for their child's truancy may face contempt of court charges if they do not pay, potentially resulting in up to 90 days in jail. However, actual incarceration is not common for unpaid truancy fines, and courts often explore alternatives or payment plans instead.

It is important to remember that if something did unfortunately go wrong, the parent may suffer charges of neglect (considered a form of child abuse in Texas.)
