School-based Arrests Criminalize Students and Feed The School to Prison Pipeline
in Dignity in Schools Campaign Statement on Salecia Johnson Handcuffing and Arrest
The shocking handcuffing and arrest of six-year-old Salecia Johnson in Milledgeville, GA for allegedly throwing a tantrum is, unfortunately, an all-too-common practice in thousands of schools around the country where harsh and punitive disciplinary practices are the first response to student misbehavior, including for minor incidents such as insubordination, disrespect, class disruption and fighting.
Project NIA is pleased to announce the release of a new report titled Policing Chicago Public Schools: A Gateway to the School-to-Pipeline co-authored by Mariame Kaba and Frank Edwards.
