Description

Book Synopsis
Schools across the US look very different today than they did a generation ago. Police officers, drug-sniffing dogs, surveillance cameras, and high suspension rates have become commonplace. This book presents a blueprint for reform that emphasizes problem-solving and accountability while encouraging the need to implement smarter school policies.

Trade Review
"Aaron Kupchik turns our common notions concerning the threat of school violence on their head. . . . this book is best viewed as an introductory conversation about many new ideas concerning the broader harms of excessive school punishment." * Punishment & Society *
