    Study Notes

    School to Prison Pipeline

    • "Pushed out" refers to students forced to leave school due to factors beyond their control, contrasting with "dropout" which implies a choice.
    • Latinx and Black youth experience school pushout at disproportionately higher rates than white youth (7.7% and 5.5% vs. 4.1%, respectively).
    • Harsh school punishments disproportionately affect Latinx and Black students in urban settings, contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline.
    • The study uses QuantCrit (quantitative) and Counter-storytelling (qualitative) methodologies to analyze the relationship between "at-risk" labeling in education and "juvenile delinquent" status in criminal justice.
    • Data from The California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Civil Rights Data Collection repository are used to analyze the school-to-prison pipeline in Southern California.

    Critical Race Theory in Education

    • Critical Race Theory (CRT) aims to analyze and eliminate racism in the American legal system and broader society.
    • CRT emphasizes the role of racism in shaping legal and social institutions and the need to address other forms of subordination.
    • CRT encourages reappraisal of history through the lens of BIPOC perspectives and recognizes the potential for racial reform serving white self-interest.

    Youth Control Complex

    • Hypercriminalization of Black and Latinx youth contributes to their exclusion from education through increased contact with law enforcement.
    • Schools have become more punitive, implementing policies that lead to juvenile justice system involvement.
    • The expansion of the juvenile justice system and harsh social control in schools (e.g., school-based police, surveillance technology, zero-tolerance policies) disproportionately affects Black, Latinx, and working-class youth.
    • Urban public schools increasingly use surveillance technologies (metal detectors, security cameras, drug-sniffing dogs) and school-based police for on-campus offenses, often resulting in criminal records for students.

    Data Disparities and Status Offenses

    • Disaggregated data reveals stark disparities in status offenses arrests between Hispanic and white youth, with 64% of Hispanic youth arrested for these offenses compared to 23% of white youth.
    • The conflation of race and ethnicity as categories in data collection and interpretation requires critical examination.
    • The classification of Latinx youth based on their race or ethnicity in official records needs further investigation.
    • Disaggregating data by specific status offense categories (truancy, runaway, curfew, incorrigible) reveals disparities among racial and ethnic groups.

    Counter-storytelling

    • Counter-storytelling provides the experiences and perspectives of disenfranchised communities to contextualize data and challenge dominant narratives.
    • The study incorporates counter-stories from former high school students to explore how racism, sexism, and classism influenced their schooling experiences and contributed to their pushout.
