Search and Seizure

by Noel Merino (Editor)

Overview

Over ten essays explore and debate the real and perceived teen rights related to search and seizure, including, schools searching students, schools conducting drug tests on students, schools conducting searches of students' electronic devices, including phones and laptops. This right to privacy is of course, pitted against the universal desire for safety from events such as school shootings and violence. So where do our students stand? Give your readers a solid understanding of their rights and privileges to privacy.
