Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigated teacher perceptions of school resource officers (SROs) and their associations with school safety. The sample consisted of 10,668 teachers in 404 middle schools and 11,900 teachers in 284 high schools. Most middle (86.5%) and high (85.5%) school teachers agreed that the SRO makes them feel safer; however, endorsement differed by race, gender, and teaching experience. Regression analyses found favorable teacher perceptions of their SRO were associated with a greater feeling of safety and security, higher job commitment, and lower teacher victimization. Although correlational, these results add a missing teacher perspective that should be considered in policy debates over the role of SROs in schools.

教师对学校资源官员的看法及其与学校安全的关系

摘要本研究调查了教师对学校资源官员的看法及其与学校安全的关系。样本包括404所中学的10668名教师和284所高中的11900名教师。大多数中学（86.5%）和高中（85.5%）教师都认为自律组织让他们感到更安全；然而，支持率因种族、性别和教学经验而异。回归分析发现，教师对自律组织的良好认知与更大的安全感、更高的工作承诺和更低的教师受害程度有关。尽管这些结果具有相关性，但增加了一个缺失的教师视角，在关于自律组织在学校中作用的政策辩论中应予以考虑。
