Jacob Ind Youth Criminal Case

Decent Essays
Jacob Ind 15 year old Jacob Ind is being charged with first degree murder for the killing of his parents . As a judge I have decided to charge Jacob under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Because of his young age and the extreme abusive home life, some leniency is required in this case. I want to give him a second chance, but he did kill his parents and does still deserve sentencing. Intensive rehabilitation custody and supervision is one of the sentences to rehabilitate him and get the care he needs. Another sentence I’m giving Jacob is conditional discharge meaning he has to attend school everyday for 2 years after his custody is over. To make sure everything is well, he must check up with his probation officer twice a week,

    Juveniles are not mentally capable to understand the crime they commit like an adult is, thus they should not be tried as an adult. A child, just like any living thing, goes through developmental stages. Throughout their growth periods, juveniles learn new skills and so do their brains. In a study, “Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis of New York University led comprehensive diagnostic evaluations of 14 juveniles on death row (at that time, 40 percent) in four states. She found that nine had major neuropsychological disorders and seven had psychotic disorders since early childhood” (Ortiz).…

    The first nation’s juvenile court was established in Cook County, Illinois. One of the first judge at the nation’s juvenile court, judge Julian Mack stated the goal for the early juvenile court would be that “The child… be made to know that he is face to face with the power of the state, and more emphatically, be made to feel that he is the object of its care and solicitude,” (Pa, Rt.). Although many people in the United States believe that juveniles should not be tried as adults it is more appropriate to teach juveniles a lesson because no one knows what their instincts are, and it can be a threat to society because they will always have that negative mentality in mind. What solutions are there to these situations, or can there be any resolution…

    “Old enough to do the crime, old enough to do the time,” Not only is this a catchy phrase that is gaining popularity, but it also represents a departure from the purpose with which the juvenile justice system was originally created over one hundred years ago‒to protect and rehabilitate young offenders. In an ideal world, counseling and rehabilitation would be enough for juvenile criminals, but oftentimes for repeat or violent offenders, this is just not enough. In the majority of cases involving violent crimes juvenile offenders must face the consequences of their actions and be tried as adults. Violent crime rates among juvenile offenders are increasing. Juveniles now are more likely than ever before to be the perpetrators of serious and deadly…
