School Policing in Pennsylvania: Prevalence and Disparities. Police in Pennsylvania Schools Series
Research for Action
In this brief, Research for Action examines the prevalence of school policing in Pennsylvania schools. While data on police presence is limited, this brief is able to examine: (1) race/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in school police staffing and spending; (2) race/ethnic disparities in referrals to law enforcement and school-based arrests by gender, grade, and special education status; and (3) changes over time in Pennsylvania's school police staffing and school-based referrals and arrests. This brief is part two of three in the "Police in Pennsylvania Schools" series, designed to inform conversations for Pennsylvania policymakers, school leaders, and other stakeholders. [For "What Impact Does the Presence of School Police Have on School Safety? Police in Pennsylvania Schools Series," see ED608041.]
