'Law and Order' (pt 1/8) - Truanting

An explanation of some of the severe punishments inflicted on criminals in the past, such as imprisonment or transportation to Australia for stealing food. This sets the scene for a modern drama about crime and punishment. Two characters, Craig and Dan, are on their way to school, until they decide to play truant rather than face the consequences of not having completed their homework.
