Summary:

"In Beyond Bad Apples, Hannah Carson Baggett provides pre-service educators with an abolitionist introduction to SROs, pushing them to move beyond classifying School Resource Offices (SROs) as individual actors--some of whom may be "good" and promote public safety, while others may be "bad apples" or "villains" who abuse their power--and instead draw their attention to the systemic issues and policies that have put police in schools in the first place, and consider how they can best advocate for students who may come into contact with SROs"--Provided by publisher.
