Report Highlights Safe Schools Without Over-Policing
Wednesday, July 08, 2009
New York, NY –
Safe schools don't need to employ strict policing tactics - that's according to a report to be released today by the New York Civil Liberties Union and two other advocacy groups.
The report praises six New York City high schools for creating safe and nurturing environments, without using metal detectors or aggressive policing. It says the schools have higher graduation and attendance rates and lower rates of suspensions, drop-outs, and absenteeism than schools that serve comparable populations.
