Charles Bell is an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice Sciences at Illinois State University. His research explores how out-of-school suspension, seclusion, restraint, and school safety measures affect students, parents, and teachers. He also examines social factors that contribute to violent student-student and student-teacher altercations. The Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) selected his book Suspended: Punishment, Violence, and the Failure of School Safety (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2021) as a finalist for the 2021 C. Wright Mills Book Award. Professor Bell is a subject matter expert on school discipline, violence, and safety projects with the National Center for School Safety (NCSS).
