Police Presence in Schools

High-poverty schools and schools where at least half of the student population are non-white have the highest percentage of police presence on campus. Students who attend schools with at least one dedicated officer on campus are 5 times more likely to receive criminal charges for “disorderly conduct.” There is little evidence to suggest that police presence on campus reduces school violence.
