School Crime, Punishment, and Control

Sat, Nov 17, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, A702, Atrium Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

The school shooting in Parkland, Florida in early 2018 served as a stark reminder that schools-although safe places in general-intersect with issues of crime and punishment in meaningful ways. As schools' use of exclusionary discipline practices and reliance on law enforcement have expanded during recent decades, some scholars have argued that educational institutions have become increasingly reflective of a criminal justice culture. This panel features four papers that investigate different aspects of this phenomenon, ranging from analyses of the personal and community factors that affect students' likelihood of experiencing exclusionary discipline, to the crime deterrent effects of school suspension, to the presence and functions of school resource officers. Papers in this panel also examine the extent to which race and ethnicity play a role in the dynamics around school crime, punishment, and control.
