Dr. Mindy Brooks-Eaves, chair and program director in the School of Social Work at Kentucky State University, recently published a chapter in Approaching Disparities in School Discipline: Theory, Research, Practice, and Social Change.

According to the IGI Global website, Dr. Brooks-Eaves chapter, From the Schoolhouse to the Prison Yard: Discipline Disparities in K-12 Public Schools – A Call for Transformational Change, is “intended to help others seeking answers to the disciplinary disparities that limit opportunities for communities and students of color.”

The chapter provides historical context, identifies current issues in disciplinary disparities, and closes with a call for change in public education.
