Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - Camp offers teenagers an inside look at criminal justice system

Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - Camp offers teenagers an inside look at criminal justice system

"FAIRBANKS — Law and Order comes to Fairbanks.

No, this is not about the TV show or even the barristers gathered in Fairbanks for the Alaska Bar Association convention.

This is about the week-long camp later this month for students ages 12-16 who want to get an inside look at the criminal justice system while staying on the right side of the law.

Mike Daku, an assistant professor of justice at UAF, and Ed Husted, the paralegal studies coordinator, will help guide teenagers through such topics as forensics, the courts, law enforcement agencies and the jail system.

To sign up for “UAF Law & Order Fairbanks: Inside the Criminal Justice System,” call the UAF Summer Sessions office at 474-7021.

The camp is May 23-27, daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 604 Barnette St. Registration is $250, with scholarships for those who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program in public schools."
