adults. Personally speaking, I agree with the former opinion. Some argue that it is advantageous for the government to apply a uniform
punishment
for offenders regardless of their age group [3] because
such
uniformity builds up a strong legal code by serving as a deterrence that ensures the consequences of committing crimes is known to the public. Each member of the
society
would have no doubt that there is a zero-tolerance policy implemented (in place) towards the lawbreakers; through
this
, law-abiding citizens would build up confidence towards the safety and security within the community as a whole. All of the things mentioned above should be the ultimate goal of setting up a legal code, and
thus
this
kind of zero-tolerance policy serves
this
purpose very well. Others maintain that there should be other ways to punish juvenile delinquents because issuing a less severe
punishment
serves as a good way for them to reflect on what they have done and make a change. In order to fulfil the real purpose of
punishment
, which is to rehabilitate them and reshape them into functional members of
society
, the appropriacy of the
punishment
must be considered, meaning that the
punishment
can neither be too severe nor too lenient. Suppose that the
punishment
is severe to the point where the young criminal suffers from a mental breakdown, our purpose of rehabilitating them and trying to make them good members of

is defeated.
By contrast
, if there is much leniency for them and may develop the kind of thinking where they think they can get away with anything just because they’re young.
Therefore
, it‘s imperative that we find the perfect balance between leniency and zero-tolerance. In conclusion, as the reason above
