Kim, Daniel J. Losen, and Damon T. Hewitt analyze the current state of the law for each entry point on the pipeline and propose legal theories and remedies to challenge them. Using specific state-based examples and case studies, the authors assert that law can be an effective weapon in the struggle to reduce the number of children caught in the pipeline, address the devastating consequences of the pipeline on families and communities, and ensure that our public schools and juvenile justice system further the goals for which they were created: to provide meaningful, safe opportunities for all the nation’s children.No publishercrooksdisciplineeducational inequalitycivil libertiescivil rightsjuvenile justicecriminal justicelearning disabilitiesschool to prison pipelinepublicationsschool disciplinejuvenile crime2019-07-09T05:33:30ZResearch ItemSuspended Education: Urban Middle Schools in Crisis https://www.civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/school-discipline/suspended-education-urban-middle-schools-in-crisis In order to better understand the issues of efficacy and fairness in the use of
out-of-school suspension, we first must answer two questions: How frequently
is suspension being used in our schools? Are there significant differences in the
frequency of suspension when we look at subgroups of children by race/ethnicity
and gender? This report, published by the Southern Poverty Law Center with research by CRP Senior Law and Education Policy Associate Daniel Losen and Indiana University Professor Russell Skiba, is designed to help answer these questions.No publisherRussmandisciplinezero tolerance policyjuvenile justice2016-08-27T03:29:42ZResearch Item
