Young people who have received special education services in the
United States are vastly overrepresented in juvenile and adult
criminal justice systems relative to their numbers in the general
population. Although much existing research blames individual kids
for getting arrested, school-level policies and practices affect a
variety of student outcomes, including involvement with the justice
system. These school-level policies and practices can-and should-be
altered by teachers, administrators, and policy makers to reduce
the number of young people getting arrested. Disabling the
School-to-Prison Pipeline uses administrative data from New York
City public schools and interviews with young people who have
received special education services in NYC public schools and been
arrested to better understand how schools can help or harm students
receiving special education services. Schools cannot fix all
problems associated with the criminal justice system in the United
States; however, we can certainly expect schools not to make
existing problems worse. This book identifies school-level policies
and practices that may lead to negative outcomes for students, such
as getting arrested, and suggests alternatives.
