Summary
"This volume will explore how structural racism is perpetuated by the education system particularly via the 'school-to-prison pipeline.' The pipeline describes the policies and practices that further racialize criminalization by routing youth of color out of school and on a pathway toward prison. This is accomplished by simultaneously medicalizing white youth for comparable behaviors and via double standards in the application of disciplinary policies that are 'color-blind' in theory, but not in practice. The school-to-prison pipeline is most immediately facilitated by the proliferation of harsh zero-tolerance policies and a police presence in schools and overlapping systems of control that criminalize Blackness while mitigating white deviance with medical labels. This volume will locate the school-to-prison pipeline in that larger climate of color-blind, yet heavily racialized social control"--
