evidence final name · Police Contact
Minimal Behavioral Sanction Exposure
Expressions activating this band do not show a clear pattern of disciplinary, legal, or institutional consequences and are largely unrelated, incidental, or only weakly connected to conduct concerns.
Mild Behavioral Sanction Exposure
Expressions activating this band reflect early or indirect signs of conduct-related difficulty, such as school absence, peer exclusion, neighborhood instability, or trouble involving authorities in the family context. Consequences are present mainly as contact with institutions or emerging social and school disruption.
Moderate Behavioral Sanction Exposure
Expressions activating this band reflect overt misconduct or behavioral disturbance that has drawn formal response, such as truancy, suspension, police trouble, physical aggression, or recognized educational and service involvement. Institutional consequences are concrete and behavior problems are explicitly named.
Severe Behavioral Sanction Exposure
Expressions activating this band reflect pronounced and formalized disciplinary or legal consequences, including repeated police contact, suspension, expulsion, or other official determinations by schools, courts, or agencies. The behavioral concerns are serious enough to produce durable institutional action and documented sanction.

Minimal Police Contact: Expressions show no meaningful police contact content. The proxy is effectively absent. Expressions activating this band are unrelated to police contact.
Moderate Police Contact: Police contact is experienced here as direct functional disruption, reflecting interference with daily life and measurable impairment. This is the first band where police contact becomes detectable. Expressions activating this band likely reflect direct functional disruption from police contact.
Intense Police Contact: Police contact is clearly present at this level. Unlike the band below, where police contact was characterized by direct functional disruption, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band reflect police contact at this level of intensity.
Peak Police Contact: Police contact is present here in a general or mixed form without a single dominant facet. Unlike the band below, where police contact was characterized by a general form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band may reflect general or diffuse police contact.
