In some societies, the number of crime committed by teenager is growing. Some people think that regardless of age, teenagers who commit major crime should receive adult punishment. To what extend do you agree?
An increasing
number
of criminal offences that are carried out by teenagers
are being reported in certain communities. It is believed by
some people that the punishment for a Change preposition
apply
crime
should be given irrespective of age which dictates giving adult
punishment to teenagers
as well. In my opinion, I completely disagree with the idea of giving adult
punishment to teenagers
given the trend of increasing juvenile cases in some localities.
In my belief, it is not justified to generalize any observation by just taking a few data points which is the case here that shows a higher number
of crimes committed by teenagers
in some communities. Various factors associated with a society such
as education index, diversity, laws pertaining to controlled substances and drugs, average per capita income, etc. can also
be attributed to the increased number
of teenagers
committing crimes. For example
, in a community with very low per capita income and education index, combined with lenient laws for drugs, it would be likely for teenagers
to be forced by dealers to take part in criminal activities such
as the illegal distribution of drugs.
It is also
important to take into account the severity of adult
punishments which can negatively impact the mental and physical health of teenagers
while also
affecting their career prospects including employability in the long run. A young mind can still be instilled with the right morals and values that will guide them in the future. This
can be exemplified by a number
of cases where penalties such
as serving a period at a social work organization, mental rehabilitation, and psychotherapy sessions have proven to be effective for teenagers
.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that the idea of giving adult
penalties to teenagers
could have a huge negative effect which can worsen the juvenile crime
statistics of certain societies. It is extremely important to understand the mindset and reasoning of a teenager who committed a crime
to be able to prescribe a method of penalty in proportion to the crime
. This
can be one of the best sustainable approaches which gives
a chance to future generations while Change the verb form

also
controlling the situation of the increased number
of teenagers
who carry out criminal activity in certain localities.Submitted by vimzauthority on
