Aimed at teens with limited reading skills, this stark look at the realities of the criminal justice system uses cooperative learning and role-playing to draw students in on a personal level.
Each chapter (about constitutional rights, trials, courts, prisons, violent crime, victims, and witnesses) begins with a case study, and is peppered with study aids: highlighted vocabulary words with an English/Spanish glossary, critical thinking discussions, end-of-chapter review questions, and personal tips from those who have been on both sides of the law.
