The focus is on investigating the concerning trend of African American students facing limited resources in schools and the potential link to juvenile detention. The United States' staggering incarceration rates, especially affecting minorities, highlight a pervasive issue. African Americans, constituting 13% of the population, make up 38% of the prison population, facing extended periods in local jails even before conviction. The study, taking place from November 2023 to February 2024, seeks to contribute valuable insights that could inform educational reforms addressing systemic racism. Though there may not be direct benefits for participants, the research aims to raise awareness about the mistreatment of African American students and promote a more equitable education system.
