Garda booklet aims to keep Cork teens on right side of the law

Gardaí are set to send out a potent message to 10,000 teenagers in West Cork warning them of the repercussions of breaking the law, but also how to keep out of trouble.

In what has been described as an unprecedented move, the booklet which is aimed at 13-18 year-olds, will be sent to all secondary schools, youth clubs and community organisations in the region.

Titled ‘Gardaí, Youth and the Law’ the publication covers a number of topics including bullying, cyber-bullying, underage drinking, drug-use, theft, knife-crime, public order law and road safety.
