Adolescent minds are the most intelligent kind of mind. A young brain is filled with creativity, imagination and innocence. Though the thought process of a teen is assumed to be selfish there are other factors involved. A combination of these characteristics seems almost dangerous.

The movie “Sleepers” is about four young boys between the ages 13-14 who commit a serious crime by accident. In this paper I will argue why the boys should be dealt with under the Restorative Justice System, and not under the Retributive Justice System. I will also talk about how they would be dealt with under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The four boys are clearly very upset with themselves because they let what they thought would be just a fun prank turn into a violent crime.
Lots of people, especially in poor communities, have participated in stealing something. Regardless of what it is, we don’t know why. That’s the problem. We are so quick to judge people about what they’ve done, but we don’t even know why they did it. Maybe they had a good reason.
When children shoplift, they frequently feel entitled to what they are stealing. This idea is because they realize that many children their age possess what they want and so they steal the item so that they can own it. Shoplifting is incorrect because it is illegal and puts children at risk of being arrested and prosecuted. If a child is caught stealing, the parents should give impactful consequences to the child for their behavior. Shoplifting is usually not out of anger or aggression; it is out of peer pressure and wanting something that others have.

The peak age for arrests for violent crime was discovered to be 18, and the peak age for property crime was 16 (Jones and Krisberg, 1994).
The YCJA, Youth Criminal Justice Act is a federal law was proposed in 2002 and came into effect on April 1 in 2003. The main purpose of this act is to separate youth offenders aging from 12 to 17 from the adults and immaculately protect the right of youth offenders to the maximum and provide rehabilitation and reintegration for them, because the rights of youth offender outweigh the safety of the public. In addition, a particularly successful policy is the rehabilitation and reintegration of youth offenders, this policy is clearly illustrated by the Medicine Hat case.

Reincarnation is more than just being reborn into another body. Whether it be a cat, a dog, or a human being, reincarnation is the notion that our immortal soul transforms to take place of what we are reincarnated as.

Public order crimes are acts considered illegal because they do not conform to society’s general ideas of normal social behavior and moral values (Siegel, 2000). Public order crimes are viewed as harmful to the public good or harmful and disruptive to a community’s daily life (Siegel, 2000).
