Police officers may hope that their presence in schools will help them build strong relationships with students, improving police-community relations over the long term. But achieving that goal may require rethinking law enforcement’s role in education, a new report suggests.
Looking at federal data from the 2012-2014 school year, researchers at Education Week found that students in schools with at least one school resource officer(STO) were1.5 times likely to be arrested than their peers in schools that did not have a police presence. The disparity is particularly stark for black students, possibly because police presence is concentrated in districts with a higher proportion of minority students. Black buys were three times more likely to be arrested at school than white boys, the report found.
Rather than building relationships and improving outcomes, students who are arrested or referred to law enforcement can see a drop in school performance and are disproportionately more likely to get involved with the law again as adults, researchers say. Racial bias means that outcomes are particularly poor in communities of color.
Spurred by rising fears of violent crime during the 1980s and 1990s, some schools began turning to police to increase safety on campus. With federal funding, their presence only grew. Following tragedies like the school shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado, an increasing number of parents called for security measures like metal detectors and armed officers. By 2013-2014, 44,000 “school resource officers” worked in schools on a full-or part-time basis.
In some cases, hiring these officers has resulted in an impressive drop in incidents. But the national picture is less positive. Particularly in schools with a high proportion of minorities, the SROs are overused, taking on disciplinary functions that classroom teachers have traditionally performed, experts say.
Arresting students, rather than having a classroom teacher discipline them, brings financial and emotional costs. An American Civil Liberties Union report found that arrested students were twice as likely to drop out of high school—and for those who appeared in court, that figure doubled.
Compounding the problem, the cost of employing school resource officers means many schools with a police presence are less likely to have school counselors who can keep an eye on the psychological and developmental effects of arrests on children, Education Week reported. Detaining students also drains the budget of money that could be used to educate them.
So how can police officers help ensure safety without becoming disciplinarians(纪律严明者) who
grease the school-to-prison pipeline
? Training is key, National Association of School Resource Officers executive director Mo Canady told Education Week. SROs should see themselves not only as members of law enforcement, but also embrace their role as educators on issues like drug prevention and as informal counselors for students, Mr. Canady said.
What does the author think of the measure of employing SRO?
选项
A、Its real effect remains to be seen.
B、There’s still room for improvement.
C、It should be vigorously promoted.
D、It causes more harm than good.
答案
C
解析
由题干中的employing SRO和各选项定位到原文第七段第一句和第八段第二句。观点态度题。本题考查作者对雇用校园辅警的看法。其中第七段提到雇用校园辅警所耗费的成本让学校不能再雇用校园顾问来解决孩子的心理问题,而最后一段中则说到校园辅警需要接受培训才能取得满意的效果,可见作者认为雇用校园辅警的效果还有改进的空间,故C为答案。A“它的实际效果还有待观察’,作者在文章开篇就已经提到目前的效果并没有达到预期,故排除;B“这个举措应该大力推广”,既然目前的效果差强人意,校园辅警还有待培训,可见作者不可能提议大力推广这个做法,故排除;D“它带来的损害比益处多”,文章虽然提到了这个举措的种种问题和不足,但没有评估和比较正负两方面的影响哪一面更多,故排除。
