Subclaims¶

q2 i? None of the meta-analytic models across eight school-level and three student-level studies showed a statistically significant relationship between SBLE and learning outcomes. → Fisher 2022

Evidence¶

Fisher 2022¶

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analytic synthesis of eight school-level and three student-level studies of SBLE and learning outcomes. None of the models was significant for "measures of achievement, proficiency, and atten - dance"; no effect size is printed, so equivalence was not tested.

"None of the meta-analytic models showed a statistically significant rela - tionship between SBLE and learning outcomes, including measures of achievement, proficiency, and atten - dance."

Related Claims¶

• SBLE shows no beneficial effects on learning outcomes or other analyzed outcomes — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• SBLE shows no statistically significant association with criminal justice contact, violence, substance-related, or weapon-related outcomes — related
• SBLE presence is associated with higher levels of school crime and behavior incidents, driven by increased exclusionary discipline, in school-level analyses — related
• SBLE is associated with higher exclusionary discipline rates, with no detectable improvements to school crime or violence — related
• The SBLE evidence base contains no randomized experiments and carries high risk of bias — related
• Review findings are consistent across study design features; no moderator showed meaningful relationships — related
• SBLE shows no statistically significant relationship with perceptions of school, but may improve perceived safety in school-level studies only — related
• Student-level analyses likewise show higher exclusionary discipline under SBLE with no differences in other crime and behavior outcomes — related
• School-based law enforcement use is associated with greater crime and behavior problems in studies using schools as the unit of analysis — related
