Disrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline (HER Reprint Series)

The â€œschool-to-prison pipeline,â€ a fast-growing and alarming development, comprises a range of circumstances whereby â€œchildren are funneled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems.â€ Scholars, educators, parents, students, and organizers across the country have pointed to this shocking trend, insisting that it be identified and understoodâ€”and that it be addressed as an urgent matter by the larger community.
This new volume from the Harvard Educational Review features essays from scholars, educators, students, and community activists who are working to disrupt, reverse, and redirect the pipeline. Alongside these authors are contributions from the people most affected: youth and adults who have been incarcerated, or whose lives have been shaped by the school-to-prison pipeline. Their writings add to the bookâ€™s comprehensive portrait of how our education and justice systems functionâ€”and how they fail to serve the interests of many young people.
A trenchant and wide-ranging look at this alarming national trend, Disrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline is unsparing in its account of the problem while pointing in the direction of meaningful and much-needed reforms.
