The school to prison pipeline is a well-recorded process through which disciplinary policies track students out of schools and into the criminal justice system. While there is clear research documenting the school-to-prison pipeline and the demobilizing and disenfranchising effects of incarceration, there is little written about the longitudinal effects of school discipline on voter turnout. My ... read morethesis explores the impact of school discipline rates on youth voter turnout and registration, as well as adult turnout and registration. I conduct four linear regressions to determine the impact of per capita discipline rates in K-12 schools on voter activity. I find that counties with higher discipline rates have lower voter activity, for both young people and the electorate as a whole.
