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?

Committing a crime is a serious action that needs to have a punishment for those who committed it. Nowadays, the rate of criminal of the juvenile is rising, there’re opinions saying that young people should be punished the same way as adults. In my opinion, even though young people commit mistakes, the punishments they receive should be a little less severe than for mature people.

Their thoughtless action cannot be forgiven, there are young criminals who seem to take advantage that they are not old enough to be punished by the law

Helping them to recognize what is bad what is good and help them to have a better future.
