Should Juveniles Be Tried In Court As Adults

Improved Essays
If a juvenile case is serious enough, they should be tried in court as adults. There are two major cases in which juveniles were convicted as adults. One case involved two thirteen year old girls when trying to impress a fictional character named Slenderman. They tried to stab a classmate with the intent to kill her, however failing in the process. They are now serving in a detention center until eighteen, then they will be transferred to a prison where they will serve up to sixty-five years in prison. The judge even said “A longer sentence would protect people longer” (“Huffington Post”). Another similar case happened when Cameron Williams was convicted as an adult for second-degree attempted murder. Now, Williams is being sentenced to

    Holloway further explains in his article “It is beyond debate that the human brain does not reach anything close to maturity until the early mid 20’s” (2). Everyone looks for someone to go down for the misfortune, but sometimes the criminals are too young to be considered guilty of the crime. A child has not lived long enough to learn and grow; throwing adult sentences at them prohibits the experiences provided in everyday life to allow them to mature due to the lengthy sentences. Adults are old enough to understand their actions and their consequences; the same crimes can be committed by children however some people feel that does not mean they should end up in the same prison…

    12). In this quote, Jenkins believes that a “life sentence still allows a great deal of living to be done.” Jenkins believes that with the life sentence that these juveniles are receiving, they are able to still live a good life behind bars. She also believes that the punishment of life in prison is still too lenient of a punishment for crimes such as murder when stating “far more than these teen killers gave to our murdered loved ones.” The reasoning for her argument points to only one example where a juvenile individual…

    As we all know juvenile cases get transferred to an adult court through a waiver. Usually, juvenile cases that are subject to waiver involves more serious crimes. However, there seems to be factors as to why juveniles with lesser offenses are being transferred to adult court. Such as, the juvenile might be older, they are a constant problem to the system and youth services has a hard time working with them and/or has to work with them for a long period of time, they may have a long criminal (non-violent) record of petty offenses, rehabilitation may have been unsuccessful and much more. I don’t agree with these rationales for a transfer.…

    The article, “Juveniles Should Be Tried As Adults” by Mary Estudillo, brings up many strong arguments as to why juveniles should be tried as adults, but the opposing article, “Juveniles Should Not Be Tried As Adults” written by Hannah McCrea strongly claims they should not. Estudillo cites examples of cases in which juveniles committed first and second degree murder, and were thereafter tried as adults. She explains how juveniles should be tried as adults because they are criminals, and criminals need to held responsible for their actions. She also brings up how rehabilitation does little to sometimes nothing for the child, so when they are released, they commit another crime. Alternatively, McCrea authored “Juveniles Should Not Be Tried As Adults,” and states how adult prisons do more harm than good for juveniles.…

    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).…

    I don’t think juveniles should be placed in adult prison. It causes to many problems for younger kids to be surrounded by negative influences while they are still developing mentally and starting to mature. It causes problems with depression and making them think that some behavior is acceptable in a society outside of the prison when it isn’t. The depression leads to acting out which causes disciplinary actions that are to serve in prison than they would be in a juvenile facility.…

    Juvenile crime has took a big toll on the U.S. as it took a rise dramatically. Many of these juveniles are serving life sentences for petty crimes.

What is worse is that most of the juveniles are getting tried as adults at such a young age and can lead to ruining their lives. Although these individuals are criminals and should face the consequences they committed, trying these teens as adults can be a cruel punishment.…

    Juveniles in American societies should encounter the responsibility and consequence of being tried as adults, despite their age, when committing unspeakable, heinous crimes. In Richard A. Serrano’s article, Young killers serving life without parole may get chance at freedom, he introduces reasons why it is acceptable for juveniles to be tried as adults. Seranno lists, seventeen-year-old Johnny Freeman “raped a five-year-old and tossed her from a fourteenth-story window,” sixteen-year-old Peter Saunders “bludgeoned an elderly woman, then from prison mailed a bomb-like device to a judge,” and sixteen-year-old David Biro “marched a husband and his pregnant wife down their basement stairs and shot them both” (Serrano, paragraph 12). Although…

    When it comes to the criminal justice system, there are many varying elements that contribute to the process through which accused offenders are counseled. As is expected, there are also numerous moral and ethical disputes that come with the territory, such as whether or not children, or 'juveniles', should be tried as adults in court for the violent crimes they commit. Some may say any child over the age of five should know the difference between right and wrong; for an individual to plan out a crime and act on it, the punishment should fit the offense, no matter the age. However, there is a thin line between vice and neurosis when it comes to juveniles. The incarceration of individuals under the age of sixteen at adult correctional facilities…

    I believe that young teenager shouldn’t have to be trialed as adults and have life sentences without parole or face harsh sentences like the death penalty. Instead these young adolescents should be able to redeem themselves and be given the opportunity for a second chance rather than being convicted to a lifetime sentence. I see no see no positive reinforcement to change the attitude or perspective of a young teenager’s mind if they are to place teens to solitary confinement and be given prescription medication to endure their mental and physical pain. My suggestion to aid these adolescent into to a healthier mental state is by seeing a doctor or psychiatrist to find the source of this aggressive suppressed behavior as opposed to just forcing…

    According to the article written by the CNN legal analyst, Phillip Halloway named ‘Should 11-year-olds be charged with adult crimes?’ on 14th October 2015, there has been an increase in the number of juvenile offenders who have been sentenced as adults. These are the issues presently plaguing the American legal system, as the brutal deeds of juvenile wrongdoers keep on to making headlines (Halloway, 2015). The primary question is, are children able to understand the consequences of their actions? Maybe, not as latest studies suggest that the brain 's prefrontal lobe, which some scientists study, performs an important role in slowing down improper behavior, may not attain full growth until age 20.…

    Juveniles should not be tried as adults for it is wrong to hold adolescents, under the legal age, to adult standards. 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.…
