SYSTEM FAILURE examines how education policy contributes to the school-to-prison pipeline, highlighting how it maintains silence around structural racism and civil rights, marginalizes youth voice and culture, focuses on schools or the criminal justice system, and overlooks intermediate settings.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 160 pages
Publication date: 31 March 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


SYSTEM FAILURE offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the ways in which education policy across organizational settings contributes to the school-to-prison pipeline, as extensively documented in the literature and observed by authors in empirical studies of justice-involved youth in regular public schools, juvenile court schools, probation settings, and alternative schools. Burch and his contributors argue that education policy fails low-income justice-involved youth in three significant ways: by maintaining silence around issues of structural racism and civil rights, marginalizing youth voice and culture, and language, focusing on schools or the criminal justice system, and overlooking intermediate settings, including the role of for-profit and not-for-profit education companies. While the problem of the school-to-prison pipeline has been well-documented, the book provides critical detail and description of a policy process that tolerates and stalls efforts to abolish it.

This book is intended for educators, students, policymakers, and practitioners interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the policy issues at hand as well as advocates engaged in rigorous work to address these issues. By examining the ways in which education policy contributes to the school-to-prison pipeline, SYSTEM FAILURE offers valuable insights and strategies for promoting equity and justice in education and reducing the overrepresentation of marginalized youth in the criminal justice system.
