The curriculum outlines the child's responsibilities, rights and privileges, and the reasons for laws in terms of the child's relationships with others and in terms of the child's place in the home, the school, and the community. Each unit presents an objective, suggested activities, and topics for discussion. Topics for grades one, two, and three include sharing, taking turns, respect for private and public property, rights of children in a family, individual rights and privileges, parents' responsibilities toward children, community service, vandalism, and shoplifting. Discussion topics for the upper grades include self-defense, self-respect, character assassination, and conflicting responsibilities. A separate section on justice aimed at the upper grades includes organizational diagrams of the Federal and New Hampshire court systems, the New Hampshire Department of Safety, and the New Hampshire State Police. Duties and selection procedures for the FBI, the State Police, and the local police departments in New Hampshire are also discussed. Discussion topics on justice for the upper grades include enforcement of speeding violations, the consequences of false alarms, police use of guns, and ignorance of the law as an excuse for its violation. Descriptions of kit components for appropriate grade levels, a list of resource materials, and a glossary are provided.
