This co-authored book critically reviews existing literature on
school resource officer (SRO) programs and presents a thorough
evaluation of an SRO program offered by Peel Regional Police in
Ontario, Canada. The implementation of a SRO program is a
controversial response to school violence and safety issues. While
some call for an increased use of police in schools, others are
pushing to remove police from schools, or at least to end their
involvement in routine discipline. Though many SRO programs exist
around the world, little systematic research has been conducted on
the topic. The study reported in this book represents the largest
and most comprehensive assessment of such programs to date. The
research by Duxbury and Bennell indicates that SRO programs can
provide real value for students, school staff, policing
organizations, and society, but benefits rely on having programs
that are well-designed, that the right officers are selected for
SRO roles, and that the initiative has support from major
stakeholders. Given the current conversations regarding the costs
and benefits of having police officers in schools, there is a clear
need to determine the value that investment in these types of
proactive policing programs creates. The book provides researchers,
SROs, police agencies, school boards, school administrators,
teachers, parents, and students with information about: the
activities that SROs are involved in, how SROs can collaborate with
schools to create safe learning environments, and whether (and how)
such programs benefit the police, schools, students, and society.
Easy-to-digest charts facilitate understanding, and anonymized
reflections from SROs, school staff, and students are presented
throughout the book to provide context.
