On(R) Street Smarts
Addresses both ends of the crime spectrum by teaching teens how to avoid becoming victims or being drawn into criminal activity. Interactive exercises sensitize adolescents to the ways and extent to which crime affects people's lives, and help them explore how the use of alcohol and other drugs contributes to crime; the truth about how guns put their lives at risk; and how some teens can be drawn into gangs. Through peer-related stories, quizzes, and decision-making exercises, teens learn to avoid alcohol and other drugs, choose friends wisely, use their free time for healthy activities, protect themselves from falling victim to crime, see the reality behind media myths about crime, resolve conflict, and set short- and long-term goals. 24 pages, 8 1/2" x 11". Ages 15-17
