Street Wise: A Programme for Educating Young People About Citizenship, Rights, Responsibilities and the Law

Frankel, director of the educational charity Act 4, provides a handbook for young people intended to give them the knowledge and skills they should have to be street-wise and to understand their rights and responsibilities. It also is intended to engage young people in moral issues by asking them to consider the criminal process, how it applies to them, how they want to be perceived, and what they believe is right and wrong. It is written as a modular program and is formatted to be photocopied for use by teachers, youth leaders, and social workers that work with young people 15-years-old and above.
