Minor defendants under the age of 18 rarely be closed in the adult court. However, depending on the activist, this action may be canceled under all circumstances whether it is a crime or a criminal. But can they really prove that adult punishment is never suitable for teenagers with adult sin?
If the court cancels the choice of judgment and judgment, it is impossible to make a trial in every situation.
From minor sabotage to violent murder, the vast majority of juvenile delinquents are handled by the juvenile justice system, not the adult court. The separation of these two systems is to understand the difference between adolescents and adults, by default the opportunities for youth forgiveness and redemption increase. The Juvenile Court is primarily designed to repair those who made mistakes.
However, in either case it is impossible or inappropriate. The decline behavior of some minors is so terrible that justice can not be executed on minor systems. Other crimes and their perpetrators have proved that adults meet the punishment of adults.
As an example beyond these two classes, there is a conspiracy that Sarah Johnson, a 16-year-old, killed his parents and blamed the intruder for crimes. Her lawsuit was transferred to the adult court, Johnson was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The transfer process is the key to providing the appropriate penalty in various cases. In some states the judge will decide whether to approve the state government to move the boy to the adult court; in other cases, due to a specific crime, it is usually killing and automatic removal . In this way, we divide several crimes committed by minors into adult trials and penalties.
If you cancel this option or limit the available penalty too much, you can not provide individual justice in each case. (Now) If you are cautious, you should give punishment for adults to juvenile offenders
Should the death penalty be treated as penalty for adulthood adolescents? Yes, for juveniles who are adults, I think that the death penalty is part of adult judgment, so it is an option of crime such as murder and rape. In the 1976 trial, the Supreme Court of Gregg v. Georgia decided that it did not violate the eighth revision prohibiting cruel and abnormal punishment (Bartollas & Miller, 1994). However, the court must consider certain conditions such as age, characteristics of perpetrators, crime situation (Bartollas & Miller, 1994). In a total of 31 provinces, boys under the age of 18 can be executed. There are no minimum age in 16 states; 7 states: Alabama, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Utah, the minimum age is 14 years (Stengel, 1986). Crimes such as murder and rape should not be based on age, but should be based on the seriousness of the crime.
Young offenders should be tried and punished like adults. Crime is a crime regardless of age. If they sinned, they should do it. Due to age, teenagers try to push the law into the limits. They did not understand it and they did not recognize that their criminal record chases their whole life. Juvenile criminals should be tried and punished according to crime, individual criminal record, criminal personality, and so on. - The idea that adolescents and adolescents are tried as adults has been a controversial issue in the last 30 years or so. When a boy commits a very heinous crime, many people believe that this young man is tried and should be given the full text like an adult. Even those who think that these teenagers should go to adult prisons. "Will you be an adult soon as the child dies, or will he hold some childhood traps despite his serious behavior?" (Reaves Para 1)
