OOPS - Law Related Education
TOP TEN REASONS FOR OOPS LRE Classes
LRE program in Georgia's Juvenile Courts have been successful in deterring further delinquencies. Law Related Education Classes benefit delinquent/non-delinquent youth.
Further, the goals of LRE-understanding our laws and legal system-are as appropriate for adults as
youth. Successful LRE programs have been offered in community settings for adults, generally, or
for special audiences such as the elderly.
1. BUILD knowledge of our laws and legal system
2. Students increase their understanding of government, the judicial system, and
their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
3. Students learn to examine issues, weigh alternatives and consequences,
communicate ideas clearly and value the viewpoints of others.
4. Create interest and positive attitudes
5. Students are interested because content is participatory and relevant.
6. Deter delinquency and anti-social behaviors
7. Reduce tendencies toward delinquent behavior and improve attitudes.
8. Programs for first offender juveniles also demonstrate this positive effect.
9. Expand awareness and appreciation for basic juvenile law, terminology, etc.
10. People function more confidently and successfully within society with better
understanding of laws.
