In an era dominated by a focus on academic accountability, it is critical to understand that academic engagement and school discipline cannot be disentangled. Punitive and exclusionary practices in our schools and juvenile justice system threaten the life chances of too many American children and youth, especially those who have been historically marginalized. This book shines a light on the threats posed by the school-to-prison pipeline, the experiences of those who have been its victims, and strategies for disrupting and deconstructing that pipeline. Russ Skiba, director, The Equity Project, Indiana University
