あらすじ・解説
There was a time not so long ago during which the phrase “school-based law enforcement” personnel wasn’t part of our lexicon.
Then came the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, which marked a turning point in the expansion of campus policing. Federal support was key in the expansion of the strategy, and between 1999 and 2005, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services within the U.S. Department of Justice awarded over $750 million to schools to hire approximately 6,500 school resource officers. By 2019, this funding totaled nearly $1 billion.
The professionalization, training, and visibility of SBLE personnel vary widely across states and often across school districts within individual states. To shed some light on how school-based law enforcement officials define their priorities, spend their time and interact with stakeholder groups, Associate Professor Amanda Rutherford and colleagues Nya Anthony and Lillian Rogers conducted a study to build a national profile on SBLEs.
We’re joined today by Professor Rutherford, the lead author of the study. Amanda serves as the director of the Undergraduate Honors Program. Professor Rutherford’s central research interests include political control and performance accountability, bureaucratic careers and executive decision-making, and issues of race, equity, and representation in the bureaucracy. Much of her research is conducted in the context of K-12 and higher education.
