In the 21st century, the number of juvenile
crimes
increases gradually. To solve
this
phenomenon, some suggest allowing the
teens
which commit major
crimes
to receive adult punishment, while some disagree with
this
suggestion. In my opinion, adolescents should receive the same punishment as adults and here are my reasons.
To begin
with, the younger the human is, the harder for them to understand the meaning and the price of committing a
crime
. According to research, most youths rob, rape, or beat
others
as they are curious and want to be famous. In puberty,
teens
want to gain
others
' admiration and some may misunderstand that committing a
crime
is an effective way to achieve
others
' idolization to build confidence. Hardly can they understand that committing a
crime
may harm
others
' lives and result in their economic loss.
Hence
, another chance should be given to them and we should guide them to know what is a
crime
.
For instance
, policemen are invited to school to introduce the penalty of cybercrime, the reason why robbery harms
others
, and the impact of having a criminal history. After
kids
know the price of doing illegal things, they prevent doing so. It will be a better way to reduce teenagers'
crimes
.
Aside from that,
kids
are against the law due to lacking education or parents' care, and difficulties in living. Despite the juveniles experiencing the same penalty as the adults, they will not stop committing
crimes
. Based on research, about 40% of
teens
who are in jail have a bad family history. Most of their parents may be busy or
also
has a criminal history. Meanwhile, about 15% of
teens
commit
crimes
as they rely on the robbery or selling drugs to make money for a living.
Accordingly
, the charity provides courses for these
kids
to learn so as to renew themselves,
such
as learning to have a haircut or baking.
Also
, education is provided to allow them to have a higher opportunity to get into university or complete the secondary school schedule. Not only do these methods gives another chance to
kids
, but
also
being more competitive by owning a variety of skills.
This
reduces the juvenile
crime
rate from the root effectively.
In conclusion, I disagree with the idea of letting youths get the same penalty as adults do. Solving from the roots
such
as providing education or giving a chance for them to understand the price of committing illegal things is much better in triggering the drop in the juvenile
crime
rate.
