For schools in which students commonly transition into juvenile and criminal systems, Disrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline offers effective reform solutions. The book retells stories of individuals trapped within the school-to-prison pipeline.

A wide-ranging look at this alarming trend, Disrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline is unsparing in its account of the problem while pointing in the direction of meaningful and much-needed reforms. The "school-to-prison pipeline”, a fast-growing and disturbing development, describes a range of circumstances whereby "children are funnelled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems”. This new volume features essays from scholars, educators, students, and community activists who are working to disrupt, reverse, and redirect the pipeline.
