Maximum Security

Discover the compelling insights of John Devine in his thought-provoking book, Maximum Security, published by The University of Chicago Press in 1997. With 296 pages of rich content, this paperback delves into the pressing issues of school violence and the sociological aspects surrounding education. Drawing from years of frontline experience in New York's inner-city schools, Devine argues that intense policing and security strategies not only fail to address the root problems but also alienate students and teachers from their ethical and behavioral responsibilities. This essential read is perfect for educators, administrators, and anyone interested in the organization and management of education. Explore how we can foster a more responsible and engaged educational environment by understanding the implications of behavioral theory and social science in our schools.
