정서적 위기에 처한 학생들에 대한 경찰의 대응: 경찰이 없는 학교의 학생들을 위한 종합적인 정신 건강 및 사회 정서적 지원 요청

이 보고서는 정서적 고통을 겪고 있는 학생을 수업에서 빼내고 심리 평가를 위해 병원으로 이송하는 12,000건 이상의 "위기 아동" 개입에 대한 경찰의 대응 데이터를 조사합니다. 이러한 개입 중 불균형적인 부분에는 흑인 학생, 75학군 학교에 다니는 학생, 저소득 유색 인종 커뮤니티에 위치한 학교에 다니는 학생들이 포함되었습니다. 우리는 학교에서 경찰을 제거하고 행동 및 정신 건강 지원과 서비스에 투자함으로써 정서적 위기에 처한 학생들의 범죄화를 중단할 것을 시에 촉구합니다.
