Incremental Punishment: School Discipline as a Continuous Variable Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Discipline; High School Completion/Graduates; School Suspension/Expulsion Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Recent work in sociology of education has looked at the impact of zero-tolerance policies within schools. Though school absence has received attention as continuous variable where more days of absence means worse graduation outcomes, school suspension has continued to be looked at as a binary variable. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997), I analyze whether high school graduation outcomes are altered by the duration of suspension that students face. Results from my study show that suspension has an ongoing influence on graduation outcomes even when controlling for the number of school days missed for other reasons. This leads to a number of implications for how schools use punishment and suspension as well as how researchers should consider these school actions when studying discipline in the future. |
