dennis parker, we ended the last segment with you, but you used the phrase that caught my ear. the school to prison pipeline. but for all of the methodology, it wasn't talking about those convicted of a crime and sent away. but just arrested. what are the affects of being arrested and are they different than they were in earlier decades? >> in the school context, the affects of being arrested are like they are in the rest of the world, it increases the likelihood of further involvement in the criminal justice system. it exposes you to the system x it makes it more likely that you'll be recognized or identified as a suspect. it really starts the whole process of your involvement in the system. and so it really doesn't matter whether or not it ends in a conviction. the process of being placed under arrest, even as usual happens, the case is dismissed and you don't get sentenced to jail. there's a danger in increasing the number of arrests, even if there are not convictions associated with it. >> professor, is it tough to escape your past? if you are arrested and convicted of noth

parker, 25 news. >> jimmy: yeah. vanilla, just stand about 12 feet behind me with a reciprocating saw and motion to whatever i say. dennisodman could also be in some trouble with the law. the u.s. treasury department is looking at allegations that dennis rodman broke a law that prohibits importing luxury items into north korea. apparently, rodman brought a bunch of gifts with him when he went to north korea to celebrate the birthday of kim jong un. according to news reports, these gifts were worth more than $10,000. they included whiskey, rodman's personal brand of vodka, crystals, an italian suit, a mulberry handbag, and a fur coat. basically, he brought kim jong un a pimp costume. [ laughter ] and bringing gifts to the leader of north korea potentially violates resolutions from the u.n. security council and the international emergency economic powers act, which i'd never imagined dennis rodman would break. i have to say, i don't know if rodman broke any laws. this sounds to me like the only thing he's guilty of is being an awesome boyfriend. [ laughter ] but i will say this. if we can get a picture of kim jong un in th
