ABSTRACT

Research examining the school-to-prison pipeline alludes to the existence of trajectories of exclusionary discipline; however, disciplinary trajectories and their associated risk factors and outcomes have not yet been examined quantitatively across developmental periods. The purpose of this study was to identify trajectories of school suspension between the ages of 8–16, determine risk factors and markers associated with trajectory group membership, and examine whether trajectory group membership was associated with arrest. Results identified two trajectories of school suspension- a low-level trajectory, and a pushout trajectory. Being Black, male, and levels of aggression, and externalizing behaviors were associated with pushout group membership. Pushout group membership was also associated with arrest. Results have implications for researchers and policymakers.

考察学校到监狱的管道的研究暗示了排他学科的轨迹的存在。然而，学科发展轨迹及其相关的风险因素和结果尚未在整个发育时期进行定量检查。这项研究的目的是确定8-16岁之间学校停学的轨迹，确定与轨迹组成员资格相关的危险因素和标记，并检查轨迹组成员身份是否与逮捕有关。结果确定了学校停学的两条轨迹：低水平轨迹和顶出轨迹。黑人，男性，侵略程度和外在行为与推出小组成员有关。推出小组成员也与逮捕有关。
