Abstract
Poteat, Scheer, and Chong analyze a sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning (LGBQ) youth and heterosexual youth and find evidence of sexual orientation-based discipline disparities in both school suspensions and juvenile justice system involvement. They discuss results from models testing how victimization and engagement in infractions are connected to sexual orientation-based discipline disparities. Discipline disparities could not be explained simply because LGBQ youth report greater victimization and engagement in more infractions than heterosexual youth. When LGBQ and heterosexual youth engage in infractions, however, the odds are greater that LGBQ youth will experience discipline than heterosexual youth. Based on these findings, the authors offer implications for continued research and addressing instances of disciplinary bias against LGBQ youth.
