This study identifies and evaluates sanctions for dress code violations in secondary school handbooks. Sanctions, or consequences for breaking rules, vary along seven interrelated dimensions: source, formality, retribution, obtrusiveness, magnitude, severity, and pervasiveness. A content analysis of handbooks from 155 public secondary schools identified sanctions connected to dress code violations. Twenty-six sanctions were found; two sanctions not found were corporal punishment and student apology. Policy violations and related sanctions generally were found to be hierarchical in nature. The disciplinary sanctions were aligned with the definition of discipline as "punishment inflicted by way of correction and training." (Contains 2 tables.)
