“…The school safety discourse in the current study is not connected to guns or weapons, as shown in previous studies (Ellis et al 2015). Instead the present results are connected to a school safety discourse where drug addict students' unpredictable behaviour had an impact on school safety.…”

Today, an increasing number of students are suffering from different kinds of mental health problems. Still, we know little about how professionals in secondary school and other professionals in society handle and collaborate around these issues. The findings from the present study make an important contribution to the research field regarding professionals' efforts to meet the needs of vulnerable students. The present study investigates how school professionals in two Swedish urban schools and the local police describe their experiences with meeting the needs of students who are suffering from mental health problems and drug use. The study draws on semi-structured interviews with the professionals and observations of the schools' student welfare team meetings. The findings reveal that self-medication, through use of pills or drugs (or both), has become quite common among adolescents, who see it as a way to 'solve their mental health problems. Although students' wellbeing and school safety were reported to be major concerns, the professionals' collaborations were sometimes obstacles. Issues connected to the complexity of adolescents' mental health not only highlight the importance of collaboration between schools and other societal institutions, but also indicate the necessary resources for such collaboration.

Despite much of the research on self-efficacy among Black males being isolated to K-12 (Ellis, Rowley, Nellum & Smith, 2018;), there is an increasing amount of literature that finds self-efficacy critical for Black males as they navigate the educational pipeline beyond high school (Wood, Newman, & Harris, 2015;Tucker-Seeley, Mitchell, Shires, & Modlin, 2015).…”

In dominant literature, Underachievement has often defined the educational experiences of Black males in the US. More recently, a growing body of research has highlighted the educational achievement of Black males. However, limited studies have explored Black male achievement beyond K-12 and undergraduate. The purpose of this study was to explore how Black male doctoral degree completers make meaning of their educational experiences. Utilizing Bandura's self-efficacy theory and Shaun Harper's anti-deficit framework, fourteen doctoral completers participated in semi-structured interviews. By using a narrative inquiry methodology, the data revealed five major themes. These themes were Early Schooling and Pre-College Socialization, Positive Undergraduate Experiences, Post-Undergraduate Success Black Males' Decision to Pursue a Doctoral Degree, Combatting Adverse Doctoral Experiences, and Black Males' Motivation to Complete Doctoral Degree. Various individuals supported Black males throughout their educational experiences. Career aspirations and encouragement from others shaped their decision to pursue education beyond the bachelor's degree. Black males used spirituality and self-efficacy to complete doctoral education. The findings yielded recommendations for practice. These practices included providing high expectations for Black males at every stage of the educational pipeline, using faculty as images of possibility, and addressing the underrepresentation of Black males. Also, researchers must conduct additional on the educational achievement of Black males at every stage of the educational pipeline, including K-12, Higher Education, and graduate education.

“…American research shows similar patterns for youth growing up in poor neighborhoods and especially for African American male students in regard to lack of academic performance, discipline difficulties, and distress. Furthermore, this group of students are more likely to be exposed to violence and categorized as suffering from a learning disability or having a diagnosis (Ellis, Rowley, Nellum, & Smith, 2015; Noguera, 2003; Peguero, 2011). There is also a strong connection between exposure to violence and students’ association with delinquent friends (Peguero, 2011).…”

The Absent Victim: Schools’ Assessment of the “Victimization Process”

The present study examines how a number of Swedish schools define and categorize students who have been exposed to different forms of violent or abusive acts in school. The study will shed light on how categorizations and forms of explanation used in the schools by professionals emerge from central institutional and professional discourses. The data are gathered from interviews with key officials and observations from school health team meetings.The results indicate a tendency toward more and detailed legal regulations concerning how schools act and react in relation to violent behavior.
