Abstract:
We, the Editors and Publisher of Justice Quarterly, have retracted the following article: “School social bonds, school climate, and school misbehaviour”. In response to concerns raised about this article, the Editors and the Publisher provided the author with the opportunity to respond to the questions, and commissioned a review by three independent referees of the original article. The independent review concluded that some of the concerns raised about the article could possibly be attributed to analytic and coding decisions, but due to possible errors in select analyses, as well as the inability of the referees to replicate the article’s exact sample and models, there was doubt cast over the reliability of the results and conclusions in this study. For this reason, we have made the decision to retract the article. The author has been informed of this decision. Based upon the information from the author and the independent review, there was insufficient evidence to support a conclusion of research misconduct in the form of data fabrication and falsification. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
