Sociology

The Intersection of Race, Class, and the School-to-Prison Pipeline

Quick fact

In the U.S., Black students are suspended or expelled at three times the rate of white students, and Black students make up about 16% of public school enrollment but 31% of arrests made at school.

Why this is interesting

What if the path to prison began at the school gate? For millions of students, especially Black and Brown youth, a classroom misstep can set off a chain reaction that ends in handcuffs.
