National Black Womens Justice Institute
Добавлен 22 июл 2019
The National Black Women’s Justice Institute's mission is to research, elevate, and educate the public about innovative, community-driven solutions to address the criminalization of Black women and girls.
We aim to dismantle the racist and sexist US criminal-legal system and build, in its place, pathways to opportunity and healing.
We envision a society that respects, values, and honors the humanity of Black women and girls, takes accountability for the harm it has inflicted, and recognizes that justice is healing.

Black Girls' Pushout & Criminalization in Schools: New Data Hub

These practices weaken students’ connection with school by depriving students of valuable learning time and creating an environment that erodes students’ well-being and sense of safety at school. These students often end up pushed out of school altogether, as research shows that punitive discipline practices are associated with poor student achievement and a failure to complete school.
That is what the school-to-confinement pathway looks like. We also kno...

Black women and girls are often erased or overlooked in conversations about policing, criminalization, mass incarceration, and other forms of anti-Black violence. But we know that Black women and girls are overrepresented in the criminal legal system: Black women are fatally shot by police at rates higher than that of their white peers. In 2020, the imprisonment rate for Black women was 1.7 tim...

Racial and gender inequities are embedded in U.S. systems and institutions, including the child welfare system. These inequities produce barriers and disadvantages that increase Black women's and girls' risk of coming in contact with law enforcement, courts, and places of confinement.
