Schools, violence, and justice discussion

Schools, violence, and justice discussion

Description

Read Theriot (2009) on SROs and the criminalization of student behavior in America. (See pdf attached.)

Address the following questions:

What effects SROs have and haven’t on school climate? (You are looking to refer to evidence-based effects, not anecdotal effects.)

  • Based on these effects, how may police presence at school channel students to the JJS?
  • How do socioeconomic factors (economic disadvantage) predict arrest rates?

What are the limitations of the research?

  1. What would you suggest instead of OR supplementing SROs in order to establish school safety?
  2. Provide additional research and data to support your case, if necessary.
