学校内部和周围的暴力最近引起了公众和政策制定者越来越多的关注，尽管这个问题很重要，但是，对此主题的研究仍然有限。在本文中，我分析了当地暴力如何影响高中毕业和大学入学率。使用高中及以后调查的数据，我发现当地暴力具有重要影响。中等程度的暴力会使高中毕业的可能性平均降低 5.1 个百分点，使学生上大学的可能性降低 6.9 个百分点。
Violence in and around schools has drawn increasing attention lately from both the public and policymakers, Despite the importance of the problem, however, research on this topic has been limited, In this paper I analyze how local violence affects high school graduation and college attendance. Using data from the High School and Beyond survey, I find that local violence has important effects. Moderate levels of violence reduce the likelihood of high school graduation by 5.1 percentage points on average, and lower the likelihood that a student will attend college by 6.9 percentage points.
