A Brief Note On Juveniles Being Charged As Adults

Dear Ms. Reader,

I hope this letter finds you in well. I want to discuss Juveniles being charged as an adult under certain circumstances. Juveniles are individuals under the legal age for routine criminal prosecution, while in some cases these minors could be sentenced with an adult charge. I want to discuss the relevance and consequences of charging children who commit big crimes with these charges. The significance of the crime, as well as its impact on the defendant's family and themselves, must be considered. Not only that, but they also look into their criminal background. It is dependent on what the crime the child has been doing, although it wouldn’t be fair to prosecute all children with adult charges because some cases aren’t as severe

In a situation as such it may be that the child could be charged as an adult for the manslaughter but it really depends on the surrounding stories and of why they did it in the first place. It's also difficult to clarify because minors have a developing brain that isn't fully grown until their early to mid-twenties, which is another factor. In the excerpt by David Dobbs it talks about the human development of a minor's brain, a study has been done proving that there are many complex behavioral and decision making effects on them during the developing stages. Children are still children, and they go through ongoing transformations, especially throughout the pre-teen and teengae years, when they are exposed to far more risky situations. Bullying can force these teenagers to conduct awful crimes like school shootings. Already in the year 2023, there have been 55 shooting occurrences on school grounds according to the everytown gun safety statistics. In cases like this, it may be okay to charge these minors with

A true evil would have no mercy in killing someone, and this is the major distinction between individuals. An example from the excerpt by Jennifer Jenkins could be the teen that craved violence and shot her younger sister and brother in law out of curiosity to see how it felt. Now he didn’t know these people and just decided that he was going to do it because he wanted to. Countering my argument about the undevelopment of the teen brain it was said in the same passage that if it was due to that then the rates of teens shooting would be significantly higher. Before assessing what will happen to them for the rest of their lives while deciding whether or not to release them free, you must first ask if the individual appears genuine and sorrowful for the crimes they have committed. This is an important consideration as well, given that these are young people with so much potential in their life ahead of them, as well as determined aspirations. Minors who have merely committed a minor crime, such as vandalism, should not be seen as criminals. Of course, it is a crime and should not be committed in the first place, but placing them in the same category as a person of evil should not be
