Ample research suggests that graduation is more likely among clients who are older (Hickert et al., 2009;Mateyoke-Scrivner et al., 2004;Stageberg et al., 2001;Wolf et al., 2003;DeVall & Lanier, 2012), female (Gallagher et al., 2020;Gray & Saum, 2005;Hartman et al., 2007;Stageberg et al., 2001), White vs. non-White (Brewster, 2001;Butzin et al., 2002;Fulkerson et al., 2012;Gray & Saum, 2005;Hartley & Phillips, 2001;Ho et al., 2018;Mateyoke-Scrivner et al., 2004;Shah et al., 2013;Shannon et al., 2016;Stageberg et al., 2001), employed (Butzin et al., 2002;Gallagher et al., 2020;Hartley & Phillips, 2001;Listwan et al., 2009;Mateyoke-Scrivner et al., 2004;Roll et al., 2005;Stageberg et al., 2001;Wu et al., 2012), and more educated (Gill, 2016;Gray & Saum, 2005;Listwan et al., 2009;Mateyoke-Scrivner et al., 2004;Shah et al., 2013;Shannon et al., 2016;Stageberg et al., 2001). Multiple studies also suggest that individuals with more serious criminal histories (Gallagher et al., 2020;Gray & Saum, 2005;Mateyoke-Scrivner et al., 2004;Miller & Shutt, 2001;Peters et al., 1999;Rempel & DeStefano, 2001;Shannon et al., 2016;Wolf et al., 2003) and those who use harder drugs (e.g., cocaine, opioids) are less likely to graduate (Brown, 2010a;Hartley & Phillips, 2001;Hickert et al., 2009;Mateyoke-Scrivner et al., 2004;Wolf et al., 2003). ...
