Immigration Policy, School Safety, and Education

In this project, we examine the effects of state-level population policies both on school-level safety and educational outcomes and on student-level perceptions of school-level safety and educational outcomes. Healthy and safe schools are likely crucial for academic progress, success, and attainment. As the United States becomes more demographically diverse, it becomes more critical to understand how states' approaches to population may affect school safety and education, and students' perceptions of school safety and education. This research will draw from multiple nationally representative datasets, including the School Survey on Crime and Safety, the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, and Common Core Data, as well as data from the National Conference of State Legislatures.
