Halting african american boys' progression from pre-k to prison: what families, schools, and communities can do!

摘要

For the past 30 years, the United States has experienced a steady increase in the number of persons incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the number of persons incarcerated in the United States almost tripled between 1980 and 1994. Between 1994 and 2008, this number continued to expand at a rate of 2.4% each year. With the widening trend toward privatization of prisons, the business of corrections has stood out as a reliable growth sector in the American economy.
