In some societies the number of crimes committed by teenagers is growing. Some people think that regardless of age, teenagers who commit major crimes should receive adult punishment. To what extent do you agree?

In general a group of people believe criminal activities committed by a minor have increased in the

society

and they should be punished equally as an adult would be punished. Would

this

help in reducing the

crime

rate in a

society

? In my opinion, I would agree with the statement given above. The

crime

committed by a minor could be of different kinds, like they could bully their classmate or they could even commit a serious

crime

like consuming drugs, alcohol, getting into street fight, etc. One should be punished according to the seriousness of the

crime

committed by him or her as

this

would lead to fear factor in students or teenagers. If there is only one kind of punishment for every

crime

than there are chances that students would loose the factor of fear. Why does a student or a minor commit

crime

? In order to answer

this

question I would say,

society

plays an important role. Until the mentallity of the

society

doesn't change one can not think there would be any kind of reduction in the

crime

committed by a student or a minor, to support my statement i would given an example of a rape case committed in India, the rape was committed by a group of people which involved a minor and judgement came about five years later which allowed criminal to commit

crime

without any fear whereas in 2019 a rape case was reported and ciminals were killed within a week which lead to decearse in

crime

rate. Considering all the example and points mentioned above, I would say people should be punished equally even if the criminal is a minor or a student.
