Abstract
The focus of my study is to thoroughly examine the infamous School-to Prison Pipeline. This is a disturbing national trend which sees youth being funneled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. Many of these kids have certain learning disabilities or histories of extreme poverty, abuse, or neglect, and would strongly benefit from additional education and counseling/rehabilitative services. Instead, much of America’s youth are isolated, punished, and pushed out of their respective communities. The School-to-Prison Pipeline is a disturbing and prevalent national trend which sees America’s youth being funneled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. Alternative forms of in-school discipline and additional educational resources need to be utilized and applied to these vulnerable areas for students and their families’ sake.
