Rethinking Juvenile Justice
In this article "Rethinking Juvenile Justice" by John Schwartz talks about how people are arguing if young juvenile offenders should be tried in the adult justice system.
My opinion about having young juvenile offenders get tried into the adult justice system is NO. Juvenile offenders shouldn't get tried into the adult justice system as they are younger then the age of 18. Maybe if the crime is a extremely serious crime like first degree murder or rape then I would say the juvenile offender should get tried into the adult system. For example, in the article"Rethinking Juvenile Justice" by John Schwartz it states that locking up young people with hardened adult criminals would do alot more harm then good. It also states that 90 percent of juvenile offenders do not end up becoming adult criminals.This is why I think that Juvenile offenders shouldn't get tried into the adult justice system.
In conclusion, I feel that juvenile offenders shouldn't get tried into the adult justice system as locking up young people with hardened adult criminals would do alot more harm then good and 90 percent of juvenile offenders do not end up becoming adult criminals.
