    In the case that an adolescent commits a crime, we face the question: “Should he or she be tried as a child or as an adult?”. This paper argues that the adolescent should be tried as a child due the brain structure similarities between a child and an adolescent; however, each case should be analyzed on an individual basis. Adolescents are lacking specific brain regions that play a critical role in granting the adolescent the ability to make good, moral judgments. Such regions include the prefrontal cortex, which is important in cognitive functions and relevant to making good moral judgments in order to live a civilized life.…

The theory says that they’re three levels — pre-conventional, conventional, and postconventional morality. Within those three levels, they’re two stages in each level: thus, having six stages in total. The stages themselves describe a child's behavior and their thinking. But, not every child goes through the same levels and stages at the same time —each one is different — neither go through them in order nor all the stages side by side.…

If children do not even receive the same rights as adults in the first place, it makes no sense to try them in adult court. These juveniles should have the opportunity to be rehabilitated in a positive manner, for they tend to come from troubled households and violent neighborhoods. In over half of the cases these troubled kids don’t know any different way than a life of crime when surrounded by both social and environmental factors that influence their delinquent actions. One must commemorate that juveniles are mentally underdeveloped, and still have time to innovate if their issues are dealt with precisely and accurately.…
