Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the overrepresentation of young people receiving special education services in the criminal justice system, highlighting how school-level policies significantly influence student outcomes, including arrest rates. It argues that rather than attributing blame solely to individual students, educators and policymakers should focus on modifying existing practices to create a more supportive environment. By implementing changes at the school level, the book advocates for reducing the number of arrests among these vulnerable youth.
