Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, we estimated associations between adolescent–police contact and several measures of school absenteeism. Adolescents self-reported absences due to health and due to truancy; police contact was linked to both. Youth reporting police contact were absent approximately 2.2 more days in total than those not reporting contact. Police contact was also associated with a 10 percentage point increase in the probability that absenteeism concerns precipitated a parent–teacher conversation.

学生旷课和警察遭遇的作用

我们使用来自脆弱家庭和儿童福祉研究的数据，估计了青少年与警察的接触与学校旷课的几种衡量标准之间的关联。青少年自我报告因健康和逃学缺勤；警方联系方式与两者都有联系。与未报告联系的青少年相比，报告联系警察的青年缺席的总天数大约多 2.2 天。与警察接触还与旷工问题促成家长与老师对话的可能性增加 10 个百分点有关。
