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?

Crimes are becoming the centre point of attraction as it is growing day by day in some societies and

therefore

it is argued that whether teenagers should get adult

punishment

or not. I completely disagree with

this

statement and think everyone should be treated according to their age, there should not be the same

punishment

for all criminals.

First

and foremost, youngsters and adults have different mindsets, which mean they can not get the same

punishment

. To explain, a mature person has more knowledge about the wrong or right thing as compared to the children,

hence

,

punishment

should be based on the nature of crime and age.

For example

, if a robbery is conducted by a

child

, society can not put him directly behind the sentence as he may not be aware that conducting robbery is a misdeed but on the other side

,

Remove the comma

apply

show examples

if the same crime is done by an adult,

people

call the police as everyone knows that he has done

this

act with all his willing power and planning. Ultimately, a

child

could do criminal activities under the influence of other

people

so there should not the same

punishment

for all.

Moreover

,

punishment

for criminal activities can ruin the children's

future

. Because having a name in the criminal’s list could ruin his

future

, as no one wants to be a friend with a criminal or he has to face difficulties to get admission in a well-known school or college, which will

further

encourage him to do wrong activities in the

future

. To illustrate, an uneducated individual who feels lonely and face aggression from society are more likely to commit violations other than those

people

who are welcomed by society.

Hence

, it will not be fair for a growing youngster to have the same

punishment

, as

people

can try to explain about good or bad things to a

child

instead

of giving him a direct

punishment

. To conclude, a

child

’s mindset, growth and his upcoming

future

should be considered

first

before deciding about

punishment

, as a

child

can change himself if his energy should be converted into the right direction .
