在这篇文章中，我们使用3年的青少年法庭的数据，从东南部的国家，以检查是否转介，起源于学校资源官员（SRO）涉及更大比例的不太严重的罪行比转介从其他来源。在3年期间，SRO的转介情况与校外执法部门因身份和严重罪行而转介的情况相似。SRO不太可能比校外执法人员在3年期间将未成年人转介为轻微犯罪。我们的研究结果表明，学校，而不仅仅是学校的警察，对因不太严重的罪行而被提交少年司法系统的青少年人数做出了很大贡献。对政策和未来研究的影响也进行了讨论。
In this article, we use 3 years of youth court data from a southeastern state to examine whether referrals that originated from school resource officers (SROs) involve greater proportions of less serious offenses than referrals from other sources. Referrals from SROs during the 3-year period were similar to referrals by law enforcement outside of school for status and serious offenses. SROs were less likely than law enforcement officers outside of school to refer juveniles for minor offenses during the 3-year period. Our findings suggest that schools, not solely police in schools, make a large contribution to the number of juveniles referred to the juvenile justice system for less serious offenses. Implications for policy and future research are also discussed.
