| Abstract: | Data from 1,099 adolescent boys (803 Black boys and 296 White boys) from the Future of Families & Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS) were used to identify depressive subgroups among adolescent Black and White boys. I conducted a latent class analysis to examine the subgroup differences among respondents regarding school policing, school discipline, and depressive symptoms. Four depressive subgroups were identified: (1) ecology of policing and discipline, (2) school disciplined, (3) no regular security and never been stopped by police, and (4) security regularly stationed. The subgroups showed an incremental decrease in depressive symptom mean scores. School policing and school discipline influence adolescent Black boys and adolescent White boys differently, such that Black boys were school policed and disciplined more and had higher depressive symptoms than White boys. Therefore, each group of boys experience similar educational environments in different ways. |
