Investigating Fourth Amendment Judicial Outcomes Across Contrasting Minority School Settings: Subjectivity in Disciplinary Decision Making in Diverse Settings
This study explores the court system's treatment of students' Fourth Amendment rights in cases emerging from contrasting minority school settings and whether discrepancies exist in case outcomes between these extremes.
