By: Thomas A. Jacobs, J.D.
This book will help teens make wiser choices as they learn about the legal consequences that pertain to kids their age. It invites teens to preside over a variety of real-life juvenile court cases. They meet Adam, who makes a threat in school; Erica, who assaults another student and uses marijuana; and more young people who commit crimes and are caught. Like a judge, readers learn each teen’s background, the relevant facts, and the sentencing options available. After deciding on a sentence, they find out what really happened—and where each offender is today. Along the way, readers learn Judge Jacobs’ concerns about each case, reflect on probing questions, and discover that they can’t jump to conclusions. (Paperback) |
