This legal guide, developed by the Alaska Congress of Parents and Teachers, is intended for young citizens and parents to advise youth of their civil rights and explain what constitutes a criminal offense. The aim is to objectively state the law in understandable terms. The book is arranged in four sections. Section one explains the legal rights of Alaskan juveniles; section two points out that personal cumulative records are kept of an individual from birth through school and that court records can adversely affect one's future; section three defines the following terms, each in a short paragraph, as they relate to juveniles; civil law, criminal law, felonies, misdemeanors, sentence, probation, parole, juvenile, minor, ward of the court, delinquent, dependent, and juvenile court; section four, the largest section, outlines laws commonly affecting juveniles as an aid in protecting youth. A generalized flow chart of the juvenile court process for delinquents is included. (SJM)
