Title: For the Children?
Description: "The United States has the largest prison population in the world, with incarceration and policing being key economic tools to maintain white supremacist ideologies. [The author] examines the school-to-prison pipeline and the broader prison industrial complex in the United States, arguing that unpacking child protection is vital to reducing the nation’s reliance on its criminal justice system as well as building authentic modes of public safety. Rethinking the meanings and beliefs attached to the child represent a significant and intimate thread of the work to dismantle facets of the U.S. carceral state."--
