Young people who commit serious crimes, such as robbery or violent attacks should be punished in the same way as adults. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the age of crime is getting younger and younger, especially teenagers.

This

raises the question of whether the methods of re-education for juvenile delinquents are

outdated and no longer deterrent. Some argue that the government should impose the same

punishment

on teenagers as adults. In my opinion, I disagree with

this

statement.  

To begin

, most young people commit crimes due to impulsiveness and lack of thought. Adolescents are mentally unstable, easily agitated, do not know how to manage emotions and

, which leads to criminal actions.

For example

, incidents of violence are most often caused by small frictions between friends or participating in theft to express themselves in a word of defiance.

In addition

, it can be seen that

children

who commit crimes are

children

who lack attention from their families. A child may choose the most negative method of seeking parental attention through rebelliousness. Some

children

believe that their more rebellious actions

such

as fighting or stealing will attract more attention, and

this

is more like a cry for help from the child than a criminal act.

Therefore

, applying

punishment

such

as imprisonment or some other harsher method of

punishment

will be counterproductive, the fragile nature of the child will be hurt, making the situation worse and

Moreover

, if punishing minors as adults, in the case of a student being bullied by a peer by blaming the theft not only has great consequences for the entire family of the bullied student but

also

causes inequality in society.  

However

, applying the same fines could reduce the juvenile crime rate immediately. If the

punishment

is not deterrent enough, it is easy for young people to feel fearless, continue to repeat, and from small mistakes can lead to bigger mistakes

such

as drug trafficking, kidnapping, murder. . Meanwhile, severe

punishment

will make

children

think more carefully before doing and reduce recidivism, making society more stable. But in the end, heavy or light

punishment

is not as important as self-awareness and self-correction,

instead

of severely punishing

children

who commit crimes, they should educate them to understand that.   In conclusion, juvenile criminals should not be punished as adults. The law always has leniency and if acts of impulsiveness at a young age have to be paid with the future, that price is too expensive.
