Due to its beneficial impact on other educational outcomes, school social capital may also lead to decreased disciplinary problems. Racial minorities may have less access to or receive fewer benefits from social capital, and so school social capital may be differentially advantageous in schools of varying racial integration. Disciplinary problems have been shown to be higher among racial minorities, and so an increase of racial minorities at the school-level may have a direct effect on the occurrence of offenses as well. This paper uses school-level data from the School Survey on Crime and Safety to examine the effects of school social capital and racial minority concentration on disciplinary problems and to determine if these factors interact in their effect on problem behavior. I find that two forms of school social capital – parent participation in school events and training provided to parents – are related to a decrease in disciplinary problems. Racial minority concentration, on the other hand, has no direct effect on disciplinary problems, but rather, moderates the impact of some forms of school social capital. Training provided to parents and community involvement are differentially beneficial depending on schools’ racial minority concentration. 2009-04-16 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1239890792 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1239890792 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
