- More about Disabling the School-to-Prison Pipeline: The Relationship Between Special Education and Arrest
Students with special needs who receive education services in the US are over-represented in the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. This book explores how school-level policies and practices can contribute to this issue and offers alternatives to address it.

Young individuals who have received special education services in the United States are significantly overrepresented in juvenile and adult criminal justice systems compared to their population numbers. While much existing research attributing arrests to individual students, it is crucial to recognize that school-level policies and practices also have a profound impact on various student outcomes, including involvement with the justice system. Teachers, administrators, and policymakers have the power to alter these policies and practices to mitigate the number of young people facing arrest.
To address this issue, Disabling the School-to-Prison Pipeline employs administrative data from New York City public schools and conducts interviews with young individuals who have received special education services in NYC public schools and been arrested. The study aims to better understand how schools can either contribute to or mitigate the negative outcomes experienced by students receiving special education services.
It is important to acknowledge that schools cannot solve all the problems associated with the criminal justice system in the United States. However, it is reasonable to expect schools to avoid exacerbating existing issues. This book identifies specific school-level policies and practices that may lead to adverse outcomes for students, such as arrests, and proposes alternative solutions.
By implementing these strategies, educators, administrators, and policymakers can work towards creating a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all students, regardless of their background or educational needs. This will not only benefit these individuals but also contribute to the overall well-being of our communities and society as a whole.
