More Cops In Schools Means More Black Kids In The Criminal Justice System
Huffington Post ^ | 2-22-18 | Rebecca Klein

“Knee-jerk” reactions to school shootings exacerbate the school-to-prison pipeline in the name of school safety.

When President Donald Trump held a listening session with survivors of gun violence, their family members and the parents of murdered students on Wednesday, much of the discussion focused on ways to enhance school security. The president recommended arming teachers, while one parent suggested that undercover police officers pose as teachers and school staff. Several parents called for more security officers at schools.

There’s scant evidence that more cops and security guards on campus actually stop school shootings. There’s an abundance of evidence suggesting that more school security means more vulnerable students getting funneled at an early age into the criminal justice system.

Black children are already more likely to get arrested at school. In 2012, black children represented only 16 percent of school-aged children, but 31 percent of those arrested.

And when more cops are in school, these arrests are more likely to take place, even for minor misbehaviors. It’s a phenomenon that advocates call the school-to-prison pipeline.

“The more we add security or police forces and so on to schools, the more likely it is the students who are already at risk of being seen as potential trouble makers get swept up into the justice system or suspended and pushed out of schools,” said Aaron Kupchik, a professor at the University of Delaware, who studies this issue. “The risks are even higher for students who are already more vulnerable.”

CORRECT.

There is the equivalent of a mass school shooting EVERY week in Chicago and because it is run by a Liberal nothing is ever said.

This idiot writer of the story does not mention school security measures in Israel. They have armed security in their schools, which has led to a near zero episodes of criminal or terrorist actions. In Israel, they don’t play.

"Well hell, Rebecca....Let’s just do away with all law enforcement...Then we’d have no crime...Right???"

Enforcing the law and civilized behavior is just to hard on Black kids.

Blacks get arrested more because they do worse crimes and do them more often.

We need a “three strikes and you get a brief stay on death row” law.
