Product Description Did you know that if you run your car into someone when you are on your cellular phone and someone is injured you can be prosecuted? And, if you give a beer to your minor son in your own home, you can be prosecuted in most states for contributing to the delinquency of a minor? The prison term for that, if you're convicted, can be from two to five years. These are just two examples out of ten in this book that focuses on an epidemic that is occurring in the criminal justice system of the United States. Simple acts of carelessness or negligence are now being classified as criminal acts. Many of these acts have been outside the criminal arena for years. And most American citizens are unaware of the consequences. This concise book will increase your awareness of this epidemic. Read the facts about each case and decide: What is your verdict?
