According to the result, most men studied had not graduated from secondary school or passed the Test of General Education Development (GED). Of the inmates tested, 28 percent had scores indicating they had severe learning disabilities, while another 20 percent had a moderate learning disability. These inmates scored lower on tests requiring more extensive processing of information. Lack of school success is only a predisposing factor for young incarcerated males; a broad-based approach to the conditions in which these young men grow and learn must be developed in order to stem the rate of criminal behavior. 4 tables and 17 references (Author abstract modified)
