Baggett's work helps fill in a glaring gap in teacher education, offering preservice and practicing teachers and administrators a set of skills, strategies, and practices that can help them navigate police-staffed schools to advocate for their students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Applying a critical eye to what is now a billion-dollar industry, Baggett gives a historical overview of policing in schools, deftly underscoring the systemic issues and policies that have invited police and school resource officers into public schools, all in the name of student safety. Calling on student and teacher voices, she demonstrates how in-school policing is harmful, including racial injustice, youth criminalization, and police violence as well as a culture of surveillance and deficit thinking. In a carceral society, she argues, police involvement shapes the school-prison nexus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An advocate for abolition, Baggett calls for police-free schools. This urgently necessary work invites readers to reimagine school safety. In support of this mindset shift, each chapter features prompts to encourage educators to reflect on their own experiences, reevaluate disciplinary policies and procedure, and explore other forms of accountability and safety without policing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHannah Carson Baggett\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of educational research at Auburn University.
