High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Teen courts are authorized by law in many states in America. The terms teen court, youth court, and peer court are used interchangeably. Their purpose is to provide an alternative disposition for juveniles who have committed a delinquent act, have committed a minor offense, or have been charged with a misdemeanor, and are otherwise eligible for diversion. Depending on their training, community support, and agreements with traditional court systems, most teen or youth courts are recognized as valid, legal venues for the process of hearing cases, sentencing and sentence fulfillment. ...

good for ASD kids who act out
This is a good tool to get your ASD child to look at their behavior from someone else's point of view.The scale is pretty basic and thus is easier to apply to a wide variety of behaviors. It helps also because the notion that some behaviors are very serious is coming from a 'book' and not from 'mom or dad'.

Great tool!
This was a fabulous tool for working with our child who suddenly had problems with sexually inappropriate conduct in Middle School.The examples used were very similar to the scenarios which we experienced.Brief and to the point with practical application.

helpful, useful and definitely worth trying
I have a 19 year old son on the autism spectrum. It is really difficult to find materials out there to work with the challenges autistic individuals face in adulthood. This little book is easy to use and can be used as a tool to help them navigate in a world they see very differently from the rest of us. We need more resources like this.

It impressed my skeptical teen
My 15 year old is very resistant to books about his Aspergers but he liked this one.He clearly found it helpful, disappearing into his room, reading it completely and then asking me to order some of the items in the bibliography (another first).So kudos to the author.

A Five is Against the Law!
I thought the workbook was good, but the parts where there's a "map" of what to do (or not to do) was slightly confusing. However, it is good for men on the autistic spectrum to understand what is OK and what isn't. ... Read more

An informative and thought provoking collection of cases brought to court by young people
Teens Take It To Court: Young People Who Challenged The Law--And Changed Your Life by Judge Tom Jacobs (Adjunct Professor at the Arizona State University School of Social Work) is an informative and thought provoking collection of cases brought to court by young people who have historically taken the judicial initiative and changed the course of American history by doing so. Introducing its readers to a constructive and progressive understanding of the laws and the judicial system, Teens Take It To Court addresses such issues as to whether or not parents have the right to give police permission to search a minor's personal belongings over the child's objection, if parents retain the right to prevent their daughter from getting an abortion, if prayer at a school function is voluntary, or if wearing gang symbols or colors should be illegal. An invaluable addition to school and community library collections, Teens Take It To Court is very highly recommended for interested parents and children, and for those searching for a reference when taking action in court for youth-related cases.
