Examining the Long and Short Term Effect of Police Visits: Analyses of Variance Two analyses of variance were explored to determine if the police visits had significant short- and/or long-term effects on attendance. The first analysis compared average attendance during the 31 days before the police visit, to the ten days after the police visit, to the 20 days following that (days 11 through 31). The average absence rate before the police visit was .35; that is, approximately 35% of all students who received knock and talks were absent on any given day before the police visit. This rate dropped to .24 during the first ten days following the visit (24% of students were absent immediately following the police visit), and then rose slightly to .28 during days 11 through 31. Post-hoc comparisons showed that the initial drop in the absence rate as well as the longer term drop were statistically significant (p
Grades Given that grades are likely to be affected by attendance, we explored these data to examine whether grades were better for students with fewer absences among the children who received knock and talks. To do this, we conducted correlational analyses using 110 knock and talk students’ records. As expected, absences were significantly correlated with GPA for students who received knock and talks. First semester absences were correlated .36 (p
