Beyond the School-to-Prison Pipeline: Families Under Surveillance

Garrett Tod Baker

Description from DukeHub

Investigation of the wide range of institutions, policies, and practices that monitor, manage, and punish children and families. Begins with overview of school-to-prison pipeline, highlighting how education and criminal justice systems overlap. Then probes other institutions of social control that blur the line between care and punishment, including public welfare and juvenile justice systems. Examines how social control policies in schools, courts, child protective services, immigration, and other government agencies impact youth and families.
