Questions: Answer the following questions:
James Diego Vigil recalls the debate in the social sciences about whether "a native, insider perspective provides a fuller, more accurate picture of a social group"; in contrast, "the outsider gaze maintains that distance makes for objectivity and helps avoid the ethical and political biases that plague researchers that are feeling too much about what they see and hear" (vii).

As you consider the question, think about the following, related questions:
In the case of a topic such as the school-to-prison pipeline, whose perspective might be more neutral?
Is neutrality possible? Is it valuable? That is, should we aspire to be neutral on a topic such as the school-to-prison pipeline? What are the politics of neutrality? Who gets to be neutral?
How does experience shape our perspective? (Think, for instance, of a police officer, lawyer, jury member, young person, youth who are criminalized, youth who are not, etc.)
