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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 245g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230 x 152 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793624192\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laura Vernikoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44126064181498,"sku":"9781793624192","price":35.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679470179534_book_fc52816b-5ea4-49e8-8df7-06da007afb6e.jpg?v=1679772713","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/disabling-the-schooltoprison-pipeline-the-relationship-between-special-education-and-arrest-9781793624192","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
