Should juveniles be able to be tried in adult court? For what crimes? - 8 views

#1 Karin R on 05 Apr 12I think that the whole point of having a juvenile court system is so that juveniles will be tried in an environment that understands their age. I think that all juveniles should only be sent to a juvenile court. This doesn't mean that they can't get the same punishments as adults but i think there should be some sort of rehabilitation included. I also don't htink that the death penalty should apply to any juveniles.

#2 Kieran B on 05 Apr 12I think that juveniles should be tried in adult cases if they are multiple offenders for serious cases, such as murder and rape. I do believe, however, that first time offenders for less serious cases, should be tried in a juvenile court, where the punishment includes lots of rehabilitation and community service.
