a plethora of this begins because of the problem with inadequate resources in public schools. this means overcrowded classrooms, teachers that have no idea what they're doing, inefficient extras, or other extracurriculars that simply don't exist. this causes failures, dropouts, and what the school to prison pipeline exists for, increased crime rate. due to the school itself becoming a hostile environment, it causes multiple problems that grow outward.
police, instead of teachers, attempt to discipline the students. as a result, there is almost no leniency or actual learning from their mistakes. instead, these children are shown a horrible environment and thus become products of their environment. these students are not like the super-predators that were proposed during the 90s'. this pipeline is a real thing that is not the fault of the children who are affected by it.
