1 total work
Each book in this series offers all the statutes, legal opinions, and studies a student needs to structure a cohesive argument on a given controversial topic. Issues are presented from multiple points of view; sidebars cite law and opinions to aid in critical analysis; paratextual questions encourage reader engagement; and all sources are fully documented and grouped by the side of the argument. Discusses the juvenile court system and recent trends toward getting tough on crime: Is it just to try and/or sentence juveniles in adult courts? Should a separate system exist that takes into account youthful inexperience?
