Abstract

Research about school resource officers (SROs) has focussed on their ability to legally intervene and detain or arrest youth. On many campuses, though, their role extends beyond that of law enforcement to include mentorship, counselling, and education. The current study draws on a survey of SROs from the Phoenix, Arizona, Police Department—one of the largest police departments in the United States—to examine what roles SROs prioritize and how they implement their duties. The results show that although one of SROs’ primary roles is that of law enforcer, SROs were more likely to prioritize their role as mentors. SROs also reported that it was school personnel, rather than teachers or the SROs themselves, who most commonly initiated SRO involvement in student misbehaviour, whether in a law enforcement or mentorship capacity. The paper concludes with a discussion about implications for scholarship and practice.
学校资源官员:不仅仅是执法人员?
关于学校资源官员(SRO)的研究集中在他们合法干预、拘留或逮捕青少年的能力上。然而,在许多校园里,他们的作用不仅仅是执法,还包括指导、咨询和教育。目前的研究借鉴了亚利桑那州凤凰城警察局(美国最大的警察局之一)对自律组织的调查,以检查自律组织优先考虑哪些角色以及如何履行职责。研究结果表明,尽管自律组织的主要角色之一是执法者,但自律组织更有可能优先考虑其作为导师的角色。自律组织还报告称,无论是以执法还是指导的身份,最常见的是学校工作人员,而不是教师或自律组织自己发起自律组织参与学生不当行为。论文最后讨论了对学术和实践的影响。
