Prior research has demonstrated that school disciplinary practices lead to juvenile justice intervention or the "school-to-prison pipeline" and that juvenile justice intervention leads to adversities, including drug-using behavior, in adolescence and adult life. Yet, it is not clear which form of official intervention, school suspension and expulsion or police arrest, is more predictive of drug use among young people. Using data from the Rochester Youth Developmental Study, we examined both the immediate, concurrent influence of school and police intervention on drug use during adolescence and the long-term, cumulative impact of school and police intervention during adolescence on subsequent drug use in young established adulthood. The results indicate that school exclusionary practices appeared to be more predictive of drug use than police arrest during both adolescence and young adulthood. Additionally, such negative effects mainly exhibited among minority subjects, and the effects by gender appeared contingent on developmental stages.
先前的研究表明，学校的纪律处分措施会导致青少年司法干预或“从学校到监狱的管道”现象，并且青少年司法干预会导致包括吸毒行为在内的各种逆境，这些逆境会出现在青少年时期和成年生活中。然而，尚不清楚哪种官方干预形式，即学校停学和开除还是警方逮捕，更能预测年轻人的吸毒情况。利用罗切斯特青少年发展研究的数据，我们既研究了学校和警方干预对青少年时期吸毒的即时、同时期影响，也研究了青少年时期学校和警方干预对年轻成年期后续吸毒的长期、累积影响。结果表明，在青少年时期和年轻成年期，学校的排他性措施似乎比警方逮捕更能预测吸毒情况。此外，这种负面影响主要在少数族裔受试者中表现出来，而且按性别划分的影响似乎取决于发育阶段。
