I'm going to repeat some stuff I said in a sibling comment, but OP mentions students who actually set $#!+ on fire at their school, and the only semblance of correctional action for this serious, criminal behavior was five days(!) of in-school suspension. No mention of police being seriously involved, as would be entirely proper given these circumstances. This is emphatically not how you'd try to save these kids from a life of crime; it has the exact opposite effect.

I’m not sure that is exactly true. I’m not personally concerned with agents of chaos, but I am concerned with those that would victimize others to get what they want. I don’t know how to stop that. Some say the option of stable employment helps, so they get pushed through to graduation. I would personally choose a different path, such as holding public trial as in the real world, with academic punishments, and juvie if they don’t comply. But it’s probably far more complicated than I imagine.
