Abstract

Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment Adolescent Chemical Dependency Inventory—Corrections Version II Antisocial Process Screening Device Self-Report Criminal Behavior & Juvenile Delinquency
In this chapter, we briefly review the historical context and philosophy behind the use of zero tolerance policies in school settings. Next, we describe the stage–environment fit theory and examine how the negative effects of zero tolerance policies applied in the school setting are better understood within this social and developmental framework. We then detail the evidence regarding key assumptions of the zero tolerance approach and describe how these policies have contributed to the school-to-prison pipeline. We also describe the use of zero tolerance policies for discipline in juvenile correctional facilities and probation cases. Finally, we propose several strategies to reduce the risk of these policies’ resulting in juvenile justice involvement. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
