Summary:

U.S. schools today look very different than they did a generation ago. Police officers, drug-sniffing dogs, surveillance cameras, and an increase in suspension rates have become commonplace. The Real School Safety Problem uncovers the unintended but far-reaching effects of harsh school discipline climates. Evidence shows that current school security practices hurt families, lead to diminished civic participation in adulthood, and incur financial costs in the form of high rates of arrest, incarceration, and unemployment. Aaron Kupchik presents a blueprint for reform that emphasizes problem solving and accountability while encouraging the implementation of smarter school policies. Book jacket.
