notion and will put forward my points to support it in the coming paragraphs. Nowadays teenagers are involved in several heinous offences

such

as rape and murder unlike in the past.

However

, our age-old judicial system does not punish them harshly.

For example

Hence

, I do not think any leniency should be shown toward adolescents in case of major offences.

On the contrary

, a small section of society still thinks teenagers should get lesser sentences irrespective of the gravity of their crimes. They are of the view that juvenile minds have not developed fully and they should not be punished harshly.

Moreover

, people having

opinion want these underage criminals to be let off with counselling and psychological advice. In one of the shocking judgements ,

for instance

, a teenager involved in the murder of his father was released on his mother's plea.

Thus

, these groups think that the severity of the crime should be overlooked in the case of teenagers. To summarize, a gradual increase is seen in serious offences committed by juveniles. Despite the majority in favour of not showing any leniency in severe violations committed by
