Abstract

Punitive disciplinary policies in schools have drastic effects on student performance and success among minority students. These disciplinary policies have a direct impact on the school-to-prison pipeline issue in America. In recent years, restorative justice practices have been implemented in schools to replace punitive disciplinary policies like the zero-tolerance policy. However, to truly see the benefits of restorative justice practices in schools, there needs to be an increased awareness of its principles and benefits. This study examines how restorative justice discourse on Twitter can build an agenda for increased awareness of restorative justice practices in schools and policy changes regarding punitive discipline practices.
