Task 2
Youngpeople who commit serious crimes such as robbery should bepunished in the same way as to adults. To what extent do you agree ordisagree?
"a basic assumption underlying the juvenile court has been that juvenile offenders shouldn't go through the adult criminal courts. The juvenile court was created to handle juvenile offenders on the basis of their youth rather than their crimes. The purpose of juvenile court is treatment and guidance rather than punishment. During the 1980s and 1990s, the public called for getting tough with juveniles and trying them as adults. Many states passed laws making it easier to try certain youthful offenders as adults; some states considered the radical proposal of abolishing juvenile courts.
The juvenile court is founded on false premises because its purpose is to shield youths from the consequences of their own actions.
The juvenile court fails to deter juvenile violence.
"
But
The premise of the juvenile court is sound—since children have not fully matured, they shouldn't be held to the same standards of accountability as adults.
The purpose of the juvenile court is to treat, not to deter.
Changing the social environment in which juveniles live is a more effective way to reduce juvenile violence than punishing juvenile offenders in adult courts.
