Ethnicity/race disparities in disciplinary consequences: A comparative analysis of White, Hispanic, and Black girls
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: In this multiyear investigation, the most frequently committed student misbehaviors were determined, and then the most common disciplinary consequences that were assigned as a result were identified as Grade 6 White, Hispanic, and Black girls. Differences were evident in disciplinary consequences that were assigned by the ethnicity/race of girls. Grade 6 Black and Grade 6 Hispanic girls were more likely to be assigned exclusionary discipline consequences, such as In-School Suspension, than were Grade 6 White girls. Grade 6 White girls were assigned consequences that did not interrupt learning, such as Lunch Detention and Detention Before School, much more often than Grade 6 Hispanic and Grade 6 Black girls. Grade 6 Black girls were assigned Saturday School more than twice as often as Grade 6 Hispanic girls and almost 8 times as often as Grade 6 White girls.
