Montgomery * Choice * "Fills a muchneeded gap in the schooltoprison pipeline literature. There is very little information about legal strategies to interrupt the pipeline when you encounter reticent policymakers. This book provides just that, and covers all of the bases for doing so. As such, it is an invaluable resource for legal advocates working in the education and juvenile justice fields." -- Randee J. Waldman,Barton Juvenile Defender Clinic, Emory Law "Increasingly, we must understand the production of structural disadvantage through a systems lens that focuses on the relationships between critical institutions rather than viewing them as distinct concerns. This incisive new work targets the interface between our K12 educational system and our juvenile and criminal justice systems with a fresh, unflinching account that is invaluable to lawyers, organizers and researchers alike." -- John A. Powell,Executive Director of the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and the Williams Chair in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Moritz College of Law, Ohio State University "This book is a real eye-opener. For anyone involved in any way with educating our youth, it is a must-read." * BIZ INDIA *
