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?
From questions over whether it is appropriate to eat meat or to wear fur or leather, this title examines all sides of this very controversial issue.
