Juveniles Should Be Rehabilitated
If we don’t try juveniles in adult courts for serious crimes i think that the alternative would be too try them as their own groups and have a small prison for all serious juvenile crimes.But right know they think that the juveniles can be rehabilitated i agree some may be able to be rehabilitated others can’t.If juveniles get trialed as an adult for a crime that is self defense to them shouldn’t be put in adult prisons where they get picked on every day.
Researchers who say that there brains aren’t completely developed yet and can be rehabilitated.So having a small prison for serious juvenile crimes that they think can’t be rehabilitated.Will go to that small prison serving life without parole till they’re old enough to go to adult prisons

    Why Do Juveniles Deserve Life Sentencing

    Everyone has the right to a second chance , a chance to make changes , a chance to learn from every mistake that is or was made. In article “Juveniles Don't deserve life sentences” by Gail Garinger postulates , “An overwhelming majority of young offenders grow out of crime.”. Most of the juveniles that make heinous as they grow up, they grow out of the mentality that they had once the crime was committed. Why not give them a chance to show that they have mature and that there mentality isn't the same?. Also Gail Garinger believes that “...it is impossible at that time of sentencing for mental health professionals to predict which youngster will fall within that majority and grow up to be productive, law-abiding citizens and which will…

    Why Juveniles Should Not Be Tried As Adults

    Sending young offenders to adult prisons means that we as a society do not care for them, and means we have given up on them. We are basically setting them up for failure in the adult prison, because they have no chance of getting out, because of their undeveloped mind constantly telling them that the jail life is necessary for survival. Instead of sending them to these prisons, we should send these young offenders to juvenile hall, where they could be treated with rehab, and a second chance at life for the mistake they’ve committed at such a young age. And if they show no sign of wanting to improve, and love their old habits, then, and only then should they go to adult prisons. But until then, they should not be tried as adults, and go to adult…

    Should Prisoners Be Rehabilitated

    In my opinion I believe that yes Prisoners can be rehabilitated. A perfect example would be Jonathan Wayne Nobles. The murderer of Mitzi Johnson-Nalley (21) and Kelly Farquhar (24) on September 13, 1986, Jonathan was arrested on September 19, 1986 only 6 days after the murder was completed. Jon confessed the day police came knocking on his door and then proceeded to led them to where he hid the bodies. Now I know this all sounds pretty bad and you're probably thinking “How in the world could he be rehabilitated?” Well I’ll tell you why I think he was rehabilitated and ready to be let back into society .…

    Why Juveniles Should Be Tried As Adults

    I feel the law should be abolished is that the juvenile can be charged as an adult in the legal court system. The traditional rule is that anyone who is under 18 is a juvenile and will be tried in the juvenile court system. However, in certain circumstances, almost every state now allows for youths below the age of 18 to be tried as an adults. Some states give juvenile court judges to power to have juvenile’s case tried in adult criminal court. Some states give power to prosecutors the power to decide whether or not a juvenile will be tried as an adult. In some states,…

    Essay On Juveniles Tried As Adults

    “The advocates also said juveniles in adult facilities are more likely to commit suicide or be physically and sexually abused.” (Trying juveniles as Adults in NJ). If the juveniles commit suicide then they’d end up losing their lives. There's no way to get it back. That's why the guards take away their shoelaces and belts, so they would have nothing to use as a weapon against themselves or anyone else. If the juveniles were sexually abused, they’d probably not want to interact with other humans for a while. If a girl or a boy were to be sexually abused they would definitely be scarred. Children in adult prisons are 5 times as likely to be sexually assaulted, twice as likely to be beaten by staff, 50 percent more likely to be attacked with a weapon and 8 times as likely to commit suicide as children in juvenile facilities.The juveniles would hold that fear of being abused again in the future and not want to even be near their own family. If the juveniles would have to be charged as adults then they should be put in a cell individually, away from others. Especially if the juvenile is the one that would be the one to sexually abuse…

    Why We Should Not Try Juveniles As Adults

    ¨Children who commit serious crimes still have the ability to change their lives for the better. It is now time for state and federal officials to take positive steps by enacting policies that seek to redeem children, instead of throwing them in prison for the rest of their lives.” This is a quote from David Berger, who is a Deputy District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles, California. He believes that juveniles should not be charged as adults, even if the crime they committed is considered a ´tragedy´ and is thought to be ´horrid´. But we should not try juveniles as adults for many reasons.…

    Should Juveniles Be Tried As Adults

    In Kentucky, and in many other states as well, after the age of 18 you are considered an adult. This is the level of majority. If someone were to commit a crime at this age or older they would be tried as an adult. Children under the age of 18 cannot be sentenced to death or to life without possibility of parole. This is because children are physically incapable of making mature, responsible, well processed decisions. Opinions from one person to the next differ as there are several reasons concerning juveniles how they should be treated and tried in criminal cases (Southerland). The issue may be more of a debate as some people would say that kids do not have enough reasoning and lack common sense. Others, on the other hand, would say that juveniles have plenty of brains and common sense. There are strong reasons as to why juveniles should not be tried as adults and should not be eligible for life without parole.…

    Why Do Juveniles Deserve Their Punishment

    Juveniles are considered juveniles and should be given juvenile punishment unless it's for something inhumane, such as murder. The United States of America has the highest teen murder rate out of every country. The reason is due to guns being easy to get, the amount of violence they see today, and the T.V. programs shown. The 2012 Supreme Court decision to abolish mandatory life in prison for juveniles who commit murder was not a just decision, because teens should know better. They're old enough to know murder is wrong. Our country should give teens the punishment they deserve for the crime they commit. Murder deserves a life sentence whether a juvenile or grown adult.…
