مستخلص: Data were obtained in Pennsylvania to examine school-based incidents in the Commonwealth for the 2021-2022 school year. These include any felony, misdemeanor of summary offenses that occur on school property. This study looked at the school-based incidents that were referred to juvenile court to see what legal and extra-legal factors influenced the case being dismissed or handled informally, or formally adjudicated in juvenile court. Having a prior juvenile court referral and committing a more serious offense were among the legal predictors of a case being handled formally, and race and gender were two extra-legal factors that predicted a case being handled formally. Implications for policy and research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
