Abstract
This study looks at racial disproportionalities in student arrests, particularly with school police presence. This study extends Homer and Fisher’s (2020) work, which finds higher arrest rates and stronger effects of police presence for Black than White students across schools, by investigating school racial compositions and context factors that are associated with the strongest relationships between police presence and higher arrest rates of Black than White students. Results show the largest within-school arrest rate differences between Black and White students in high schools with officers and that schools with lower Black student enrollment percentages show larger Black-White student arrest gaps.
