Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
Black male youth make up 16% of all public school students in the United States, though they constitute 31% of all juvenile arrests. Very little is known from research about the long-term consequences for such contact on their odds of college enrollment. Thus, the purpose of this study was to test the relationship between Black males' early contact with the criminal justice system through arrest on their probability of enrolling in a four-year college, using a nationally representative sample of approximately 1100 Black males who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (1997). Survey data were analyzed using descriptive, chi-square, and hierarchical binomial logistic regression techniques. Results expose pervasive limits on Black males' college-going, reveal the statistically significant influence of early arrest on college entry, and have far-reaching implications for research, policy, and outreach.
