However, one should not be discouraged by the amount of efforts…

When a person under the age of eighteen commits a crime, most of the time they will not be tried in the same manner as adults. The young defendant may go to court and his verdict might be much more lenient than if he had been a older person. Adults who commit these crimes usually know exactly what they are doing and they know exactly how wrong their crimes are, yet they continue to commit crimes. Minors, however, are still young and ignorant. Their brains are not fully developed yet, and they…
