Panel explores the origins of the school-to-prison pipeline through perceptions of "juvenile delinquency" in urban school districts from the 1950s to the 1970s. Panelists analyze disciplinary policies, social science research, and student voices to provide new insights into race, criminality, and (in)justice in America's public schools.
