Topics include crime rate, the misuse of authority, authority and police, freedom of the press, authority and the courts, accessory to a crime, fair trial, student rights, responsibilities, and citizenship. The second section provides 26 lesson plans for use in grades 9-12. Topics include police methods, amendments, slavery vs. freedom, shoplifting, foreign policy, law vs. conscience, urban crime, euthanasia, and the electoral college. For each topic in sections I and II, the following information is given: course into which the topic might be integrated, topical questions, time, required materials, resource people, rationale, content, objectives, procedures, assignments, and evaluation. Teaching strategies include newspaper article analysis, class discussion, assigned readings, mock trials, drafting of hypothetical laws, role playing, class visitations, map analysis, case studies, film and slide viewing, document analysis, group work, and educational games.
