CONSTITUTIONAL DOUBLE STANDARDS: THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF REDUCING POLICE PRESENCE |
91 George Washington Law Review 817 (August, 2023) |

82 Maryland Law Review 741 (2023) |
In In re S.F., the then-Court of Appeals of Maryland held that a juvenile probation condition requiring a child to attend school regularly without suspension[] is not impermissibly vague.

Charter schools--public schools that are subject to minimal state regulation--often employ high levels of exclusionary discipline.

Objective: Given the greater contact that Black youth have with the legal system compared with White youth, it is important to consider the differential ways that police use of force against these youth is perceived.

Two broad trends inform public K-12 education's current trajectory.
