Concerns around disparities in suspensions and expulsions from schools in the United States have resulted in a concerted effort to reduce the use of exclusionary school discipline. In this article, the authors describe trends in the use of exclusionary discipline in Indiana and Oregon, two U.S. states with different school discipline policy climates. The findings point to a substantial decline in the use of suspensions and other forms of exclusionary discipline in both states. The authors further find that racial and socioeconomic disparities have recently narrowed in both states, though Black students and students who were identified as economically disadvantaged remain likely to be disproportionately exposed to exclusionary discipline. These trends, and their timing, illustrate the broad-based change in disciplinary norms that has occurred in the U.S. over the past decade.
美国国内对学校停学和开除学生方面存在的差异的担忧，促使人们齐心协力减少使用排他性的学校纪律处分。在本文中，作者描述了印第安纳州和俄勒冈州这两个学校纪律政策氛围不同的美国州在使用排他性纪律处分方面的趋势。研究结果表明，这两个州的停学及其他形式的排他性纪律处分的使用都大幅下降。作者还进一步发现，尽管黑人学生和被认定为经济上处于不利地位的学生仍然可能过多地受到排他性纪律处分，但这两个州的种族和社会经济差异最近都有所缩小。这些趋势及其出现的时机，说明了过去十年美国在纪律规范方面发生的广泛变化。
