As mentioned in Rose Reiken’s Op-Ed, NYPD presence in schools exacerbates the racial disparities in school discipline. Additional data from the NYC Department of Education again show that Black and Hispanic students are far more likely than their peers of other races to experience suspension as a result of encounters with the NYPD.
Data maps below show racial disparities with respect to students who drop out of school. Research on exclusionary discipline shows that suspension has a significant impact on drop out rates. In a city with radicalized suspension practices, it isn’t surprising that the data maps show higher drop out trends in neighborhoods with higher populations of Black residents.
