Young people who commit crimes should be treated in the same way as adults who commit crimes. To what extent do you agree or disagree

It is often argued that young culprits should receive the same type of punishments as of adults, for their role in crimes.

However

, I strongly disagree with

such

punishments will influence them in a negative way. It is a proven fact that younger generations are subject to lack of maturity levels. Due to the immature levels, these youngsters commit crimes without considering the output of

actions. To put it simply, imposing adult level punishments would not give them a chance to change,

as a result

, they remain criminals even after growing into adults.

For example

, India sends younger criminals to children jails, where the priority of

such

jails are to educate them.

Such

measures helped 80% of them to lead a better life. Another reason why

such

adult punishments should not be considered is, they are thrown into a jail with adults. Younger culprits can be easily influenced by other inmates and continue their crimes even after release.

For instance

, the Brazil central jail has no boundaries to inmates based on their age.

As a result

, several younger prisoners are influenced by other inmates and continued their crimes even after stepping into adulthood. In conclusion, younger kids should be treated differently and give them a chance to learn and to rethink past mistakes. In my opinion, treating them as adults will affect their mindset, which results in more crime.
