“exclusion is a marker for being at higher risk of becoming a victim or perpetrator
of crime”, but that “it would be wrong to suggest that we have evidence that exclusion
of any kind causes crime or that preventing the use of exclusion would, in itself,
prevent crime.” The review and the government’s response can be found at:<br>https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/school-exclusions-review-call-for-evidence</p>
