Despite a perceived retrenchment of exclusionary school punishment, the disciplinary alternative school has emerged as a space in which to enforce upon marginalized students the logics of neoliberal carcerality. This article draws on the code of conduct handbooks of 15 Texas Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs to illustrate how this space seeks to reaffirm social and economic marginality for certain youth. Specific processes in the alternative school prepare youth for a life of imprisonment, often characterized by criminal justice system involvement, but also precarious (un)employment. As such, this article situates the disciplinary alternative school as one of many ‘alternatives’ to carcerality through which the carceral state maintains its power.

ABSTRAKDalam sistem peradilan pidana penanganan suatu kasus dimulai sejak kasus itu muncul, kemudian ditangani oleh polisi, hingga proses akhir dari penegakan hukum terletak pada putusan hakim. Putusan hakim dapat berupa menjatuhkan hukuman ataupun membebaskan seorang terdakwa. Dalam putusan hakim akan terlihat kemampuan hakim dalam mengonstruksi kasus sejak dakwaan dibacakan hingga pledoi diucapkan. Semua konstruksi hakim tersebut akan tergambar dalam pertimbangan-pertimbangan. Dalam pertimbangan tersebut akan terlihat apakah suatu putusan tersebut melanggar kode etik atau tidak. Apa yang terlihat dalam dua putusan hakim yang dikeluarkan oleh Pengadilan Negeri Tobelo, mencerminkan adanya persoalan ketika seorang terdakwa dua kali dihukum oleh majelis hakim yang sama untuk perbuatan yang sama pula. Hal inilah yang kemudian menjadi rumusan masalah, apakah putusan tersebut melanggar Kode Etik dan Pedoman Perilaku Hakim atau tidak? Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif yang memfokuskan kajian pada data sekunder, maka akan terlihat bagaimana sesungguhnya dua putusan tersebut. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan telah terjadi pelanggaran Kode Etik dan Pedoman Perilaku Hakim yang dilakukan oleh majelis hakim.Kata kunci: kode etik dan pedoman perilaku hakim; sistem peradilan pidana; profesionalisme.  ABSTRACT In the criminal justice system, the handling of a case starts since the claim arises, then is handled by the police, until the final process of law enforcement, which lies in the judge's decision. Judges' decisions can be in the form of sentencing or acquitting a defendant. The ability of a judge to construct a case will appear in the decision from the time the indictment is read until the plea is pronounced. In these considerations, it will be seen whether the judge's decision violates the code of ethics or not. Two judges' decisions issued by the Tobelo District Court reflect the problem in which a defendant was twice sentenced by the same panel of judges for violating the same law. This is what then becomes the formula of the problem, whether the decision violates the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges or not. By using normative legal research method focusing on secondary data construing, it will expose the fact of these two decisions. The results of this analysis indicate that there are violations of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges been committed by the panel of judges examining the case. Keywords: code of ethics and code of conduct of judges; criminal justice system; professionalism.

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: #131413; font-size: medium;">This paper draws on the findings of a recent and extensive literature review to examine the efficacy of pull-out education programs (alternative programs) in schools in relation to student learning, well-being, and pathways. It synthesises the research on alternative education programs and their contribution to student outcomes using three main conceptual categories: how sustainable these programs are — their </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #131413;"><em>stickability</em>; how effective these programs are in achieving their stated purpose of improving and enhancing vulnerable students’ learning, well-being, and pathways — their <em>transformability</em>; and how these programs may be used successfully in other locations and contexts — their <em>transmittability. </em>It concludes with recommendations for future practice, suggesting that school systems should prioritise prevention and early intervention in providing support to vulnerable students in ways that take account of students’ own reasons for why they are disengaged from schooling.</span></span></span></p>
