SUMMARY Truants living in a depressed urban area are compared with Other Absentees from school living in the same area. The results show few differences in the social and financial circumstances of the two groups but considerable differences in the children's behaviour and in family relationships. The results are discussed in the light of other research which distinguishes truants from school refusers.
