The School-to-Prison Pipeline: Concepts and Lived Experience
September 29, 2021| 6:00pm
Zoom - Register here
The Cabrini Psychology and Sociology and Criminology programs, Jordan Center for Children of Trauma and Domestic Violence Education, and Office of University Diversity Initiatives are proud to bring a panel of speakers to Cabrini to address the school-to-prison pipeline conundrum. We are fortunate to have Liza Chowdhury, PhD, Hilderbrand Pelzer, and Aislinn Vaughan join Cabrini Assistant Professors Amber Gentile, EdD, and Ruta Clair, PsyD, as members of the virtual panel discussing this important issue.
Beginning in the 1990s, normal adolescent behavior began to be criminalized by schools (Barnes & Motz, 2018; Goldstein et al., 2019). Instead of managing problems of poor self-regulation and behavior within the school building, schools called the police, and the school became a referral point for the justice system. The students most likely to be caught up in the school-to-prison pipeline were and continue to be students in minority, economically disadvantaged, and/or special education groups. Further, the policies do not consider the science concerning development of self-regulation and trauma, and the officers assigned to carry out those policies are not trained in child development.
