Despite decreases in school violence over the past two decades, in-school arrest rates are on the rise. This growing trend of school arrests is attributed in part to an increase in zero-tolerance policies for disruptive behavior and exclusionary discipline practices such as suspensions, expulsions, and the involvement of law enforcement in school discipline matters. This article describes recent advancements made toward reducing the rates of in-school arrests in the state of Connecticut through juvenile justice policy reform, advocacy and systems coordination efforts, and changes to school practice and policy from an interdisciplinary collaborative approach. Keypoints Change happened because stakeholders were able to work together across systems., Getting solid data was essential to defining the problem and to showing results., Model memoranda of agreement helped define the role of police in schools., The Judicial Branch began using discretion to push back unnecessary arrests., Mental health professionals offered teachers training on behavioral health and connected schools to community resources., The effort to reduce student arrests gained traction in Connecticut coming on the heels of other successful juvenile justice reforms. Whenever we get a 'win,' we should look for an opportunity to build on it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
