What is another word for absconders?

Pronunciation: [ɐbskˈɒndəz] (IPA)

Absconders are people who have fled or escaped from a particular situation, often to avoid punishment or legal action. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe such individuals. These include runaways, deserters, fugitives, outlaws, escapees, and renegades. Each of these terms carries a slightly different connotation, with runaways and deserters typically being associated with fleeing from military service, while fugitives and outlaws tend to be associated with criminal activity. Escapees and renegades, on the other hand, can be used to describe those who have fled from social norms or expectations. Regardless of which synonym is used, however, all suggest a person who has left behind a problematic situation and may be difficult to locate or bring to justice.
