It Could Be You: Speaking Out Against Crime in Your School
(Target Audience: High School Students)

The It Could Be You! Curriculum involves the education of 7 th through 10 th graders on the importance of speaking out against crime and reporting it before it happens. In a time when school violence is on the rise, most of the more violent acts that have occurred in schools across the country were avoidable, if only the students who were aware that they might happen spoke out. The project involves a stirring video and written curriculum that stresses the important of reporting crimes not only after they happen, but also even before.

The project is designed to help students think about and make the right choices in situations involving negative peer pressure, which they may encounter in middle school and high school. It is also designed to inform students about possible consequences they, their peers, and their school may face if they make the wrong choices.
