The prevalence of law enforcement in schools in recent decades is a troubling practice. Pranks, misbehavior and disruptions that were once handled in school with detention or other discipline are now referred to law enforcement where the system is absolutely not designed to teach or rehabilitate, but rather to punish. I remember students getting into fights and being sent to detention or in-school suspension together and afterwards things being fine, now schools are calling the police and students are being put in jail, sometimes never to return to school.
