Abstract

Objectives: In this paper we refocus discussions of criminalization of students on structural racial inequality. We help explain racially disproportionate school punishments, while demonstrating the necessity for criminologists to examine how a historic legacy of racial oppression shapes contemporary punishments. More specifically, we explore the extent to which contemporary school punishment reflects a legacy of racial oppression and educational exclusion of Black students. Methods: Using nationwide data from multiple sources, we analyze how resistance to school desegregation, measured by the number of court cases contesting school segregation from 1952 − 2002, relates to suspensions from school and days missed due to suspension. Results: Our analyses show that schools in districts marked by resistance to school desegregation have significantly and substantially higher rates of suspensions for Black students and days missed by Black students due to suspension. Conclusions: Contemporary school suspension is shaped by a legacy of racial oppression and educational exclusion. Our results confirm the importance of using a racialized social systems approach to understand and begin to remedy the criminalization of Black students.

一代又一代的犯罪：对驱逐和学校惩罚的抵制

目的：在这篇论文中，我们将学生刑事定罪的讨论重点放在结构性种族不平等上。我们有助于解释种族不相称的学校惩罚，同时证明犯罪学家有必要研究种族压迫的历史遗产如何塑造当代惩罚。更具体地说，我们探讨了当代学校惩罚在多大程度上反映了对黑人学生的种族压迫和教育排斥。方法：利用来自多个来源的全国性数据，我们分析了1952年以来对学校种族隔离的抵制是如何通过对学校种族歧视提出质疑的法庭案件数量来衡量的 − 2002年，涉及停课和因停课而缺课的天数。结果：我们的分析表明，在以抵制学校取消种族隔离为标志的地区，黑人学生的停课率和黑人学生因停课而错过的天数明显更高。结论：当代学校停课是由种族压迫和教育排斥造成的。我们的研究结果证实了使用种族化的社会制度方法来理解并开始纠正黑人学生被定罪的重要性。
