Corruption in Politics

November 1, 2019
Grades 6-9 These titles in the Dilemmas in Democracy series (6 titles) examine political and societal problems right out of today's headlines. By offering comprehensive coverage, the books give students the chance to see the issues from different perspectives as well as in a historical context. Corruption in Politics looks at various types of corruption, using contemporary examples, and then discusses the effects that corruption has on both the governing system and on citizens. Although not all the photographs seem relevant, this series is well designed, containing a wealth of useful information for students to ponder, discuss, and debate.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
