Youth and the Law. First Edition 1973.
Educational Research Council of America, Cleveland, OH. Social Science Program.
This student book for the nine week, junior high course "Youth and the Law" addresses juvenile delinquency. The content is organized by chapters dealing with growing up, juvenile crime, causes of delinquency laws, vandalism and shoplifting, and four case studies in delinquency. The students are asked to consider what adolescence is and how it related to social problems in our society, the seriousness of juvenile crime, why laws are necessary, common temptations for adolescents that lead to crime, and special laws and legal rights that apply to adolescents. In each chapter the student is asked to either consider or discuss questions on content. The discussion questions are coded for him according to involvement: a simple answer or statement of fact, a more complicated answer calling for discussion and perhaps without a clear-cut solution, an answer involving research or a sophisticated discussion guided by the teacher. Document SO 006 834 is the teacher's guide for this student book. (JH)
