Alexia Angton investigates the long-term health consequences of interactions with the U.S. criminal justice system, including the impacts of school discipline policies. Her research examines how school suspension and expulsion affect depressive symptoms and self-rated health from adolescence into midlife. Angton also studies the racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes related to probation and other justice system contacts, and explores the role of school bonding in protecting Black girls against suspension. She has published on the importance of mentorship for Black women in academia and the dynamics of school discipline, particularly concerning students of color. Angton's work is supported by collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Michael Niño, Meredith Zhang, Kayla D. Allison, and Kathryn Norton-Smith.
