NEW REPORT: U.S. Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys (@CSSBMB_ ) releases its new report on the School-to-Prison Pipeline and its impact on Black Boys in the United States. Learn more: bit.ly/4pR4ojT.
The School-to-Prison Pipeline (STPP) begins with a student engaging in misbehavior or conflict.
Often these behaviors are a part of normal adolescent development.
Schools were not immune to the #toughoncrime policies of the 1980s and 1990s, and the lasting effects of those punitive measures continue to shape educational disciplinary systems.
School policies that criminalize normal adolescent behavior often blur the line between typical youthful actions and criminal offenses.👇🏿🧵
These redefinitions transform everyday adolescent behavior into legal infractions, leading to an increase in the number of youths referred from schools to formal criminal prosecution.
