I’m a firm believer that you don’t only teach in the classroom, but you take them outside. For each of my courses, we’ll either go to a victim advocate organization where they can volunteer with those who have become victims of various crimes ... [or] for my American courts class, we actually go to a courthouse so they can see this process from start to finish.
