The expanded use of zero-tolerance policies and security measures in schools has exponentially increased arrests and referrals to the juvenile courts√>=often for typical adolescent developmental behaviors and low-level misdemeanors. This is the first truly comprehensive assessment of the school-to-prison pipeline√>=a term that refers to the increased risk for certain individuals, disproportionately from minority and impoverished communities, to end up ensnared in the criminal justice system because of excessively punitive disciplinary policies in schools. Written by one of the foremost experts on this topic, the book examines school disciplinary policies and juvenile justice policies that contribute to the pipeline, describes its impact on targeted√>=both intentionally and unintentionally√>=children and adolescents, and recommends a more supportive and rehabilitative model that challenges the criminalization of education and punitive juvenile justice.
