This book examines the use of disciplinary action in educational settings, highlighting the disproportionate focus on students of color and other minoritized identities, and the need for racial equity, social justice, and the school-to-prison pipeline.

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


This comprehensive volume, written by interdisciplinary authors from diverse fields such as educational policy, early childhood education, history, political philosophy, law, and moral philosophy, delves into the use of disciplinary action across various educational contexts. It sheds light on the pervasive nature of punishment among children, occurring not only in criminal settings but also in educational and social environments, particularly within schools. What sets schools apart is the unique set of disciplinary practices and justifications applied to young individuals, which differ significantly from those found elsewhere.

Furthermore, the discipline administered in schools often exhibits discriminatory tendencies, disproportionately targeting students of color and other marginalized identities. This injustice is further compounded by the fact that the discipline is often unjust in various other ways.

This timely text serves as a vital examination of punishment in schools, igniting discussions on racial equity, social justice in education, and the school-to-prison pipeline. Each chapter provides empirically informed and theoretical investigations into punishment in educational settings, exploring key questions such as the understanding of punishment, the permissibility of disciplining students, and the potential educational benefits or drawbacks of such punishment.

By examining these complex issues, the volume contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics and implications of discipline in schools, ultimately fostering a more equitable and just educational environment for all students.
