Ep 33: More Attorney Generals Should Investigate School Police Like This One Did! Atrocious Data

Send us a text

In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry highlights the issue of policing in schools and shares staggering statistics from a recent investigation by a State Attorney General's office. The investigation revealed that incidents involving Black and Latinx students were more likely to result in severe policing outcomes, even for minor situations that did not require police intervention. This led to a significant disproportionality in the district, with Black students under the age of 10 being 176.9% more likely to be involved in incidents than white students. Dr. Berry emphasizes the need for more training and alternatives to policing, such as restorative justice programs and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), to address this problem.
