From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up–Topics covered range from racial profiling to the war on drugs to gun control. Since these are fairly standard subjects for research, students (and teachers and librarians) will find themselves reaching often for this book. A bibliography appears on the first page of each article, so the author's bias and the copyright date are immediately apparent. The extensive index makes searching for points of law and jargon easier. Discussion questions are included as well as a list of relevant organizations; students will find the Web sites particularly helpful for further research. A useful resource.
