13. I think that teens should be tried as adults. I think it's only fair that way. Say a kid murders someone, I think they should get put through the same punishment adults should. If teens don't get treated the same as adults in this case, then they'll never learn. Teens should learn the hard way in things, so they won't do it again.
1.Yes, I do believe that children should be prosicuted for adult like crimes.I believe the minimum age should be 12.If a 12 year old murders someone they should be porosicuted because they know what they are doing.Juveniles should be charged with adult charges.This is what i think about children being prosicuted like adults.
30. I chose the question what should be the minimum age for being tried as an adult and why? I thank you should be seventeen. They should be seventeen because they should already now what to do or not to do. They are already a adult and should be charged for what they did and they should not have done what he did. That is why they should be the minimum age for being tried as a adult.
09- It depends on how bad the crime was. If it was like a special needs kid it could be forgiven. But for person over the age of twelve i think the should be tried as an adult if its for something like a murder, mass shooting, something like that. but something like shop lifting, or car theft they should be charged but not as adults.
3. I think that whether or not teens and children should be sentenced like adults for crimes depends on the seriousness of the crime. Sometimes, when a crime is very serious, I dont think it should matter whether that person who is guilty is 16 or 19, they should be punished the same way, no matter how old they are. Unless they are small children, of course. I think murderers should be tried as adults, and other crimes of the same sort. My opiniion would most likely change if someone close to me who was underage was accused of a crime, I would want them to be tried as a minor. If someone close to me was a victim of a crime committed by a juveinile, I am sure I would want them to be tried as an adult. I think juveniles who commit drastic adult-like crimes should be convicted and tried as an adult, even if that means the death penalty.
05. I think that If you are seventenn you should be tried as and adult no matter what the crime is. But if you are sixteen and you are convicted of a more serious crime such as murder or rape then you should also be tried as an adult. If it were somone close to like a family memeber than justice should be served unless the evidence points to that he didn,t do but was still convicted then it shouldn,t follow through.
#20 I think teens should be tried as adults. They should be tried as an adult because if you were big enough to do the action your big enough to take the concequence.
7. If an adult crime such as first degree murder is committed by a teen, it indicates that the teen knows and thinks of the world like an "adult". The age to being tried as an adult is fine now 18 being the minimum, of course,certain crimes will allow the juvenile to be tried as an adult. In a situation where, for example my cousin (13 years old), is tried for a drastic mature crime i wouldn't know what I'd feel it'd be a spur of the moment thing. I'd probably be biased towards the suspect if someone in my family was a victim. Being tried as an adult while being under-aged all depends on the crime.
25. Teenagers and childern should not be prosecuted as and adult because I think adults get it way worse then children and teens. I think if your a teen and do something wrong I think it would be best to send them to a Juvanile camp to starighten out. If your and adult I think they should be in jail or prison for what ever it was that they did because they are old enough to no what they do. For a teen they should just learn right from wrong and if they are still in a juvanile camp until they turn into an adult they can just be sant to a ragular prison.
#22 I think that kids as old as 13+ should be envicted for adult-like crimes. I t hink this age would be reasonable because at this age, kids know what they are doing. For instance in Tenderness, Eric wa enous oldgh to realize his actions, thus killing his parents was a choice. By age 13 or maybe even lower they know how they choose what they do.
14. I don't think that kids/teens should be sentneced like adults for adult like crimes. The reason why because they are under age to go to prision. The crimes that should warrant adult sentences is murdering kids and what shouldn't be adult crime is stealing something. That crime is so stupid. The minimum age for being tried as an adult is 18. I say 18 because 18 is what most people think that you are a adult. My opinion if I knew someone close to me if they were accused of a crime is I don't know what I will do. I'll be really mad because that person was trying to hurt the person that I knew. I think they should put the juvenies in a mental hospital or put them where all of the psycopaths are. I mean they must be mesed up in the head or something. So, that is my opinion.
17- I think kids should be prosecuted as adults if they do adult crimes. I think this because if your old enough to do an adult crime then your old enough to be prosecuted as one. You should know the consequences. It depends on the crime if you intentenialy kill someone then I think you should be sentenced as an adult. If you steal a pack of gum then I dont think they should. Minimum age for adult sentencing should be maybe be 13 or 14? I think drastic crimes that they make should be prosecuted by longer jail time but killing them is way to drastic for me.
19. I think that it depends on the crime that the child or teen makes to be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced as an adult. For instance if a someone like Eric Poole were to kill his parents in cold blood he should be prosecuted and convicted for it. Even if youre only 13 or 14 when you commit the crime, you know and understand the consequence that it brings. Juveniles who commit drastic adult like crimes should be placed in Juvi, but once they turn 18 they should be taken to Jail. Once a teen turns 18 its their mistake that they made and their parents cant save them from what they've done.
3 to 9. I agree with you that teenagers should be tried as adults, unlless theyr'e under special situations, like special ed. Or unless the crime commited was something minor, like shop lifting.
15-I think that teens that are seventeen and above should be charged as adults. See I think this because it also depends on the crime that they are charged with. So what im trying to say is that if a teen killes someone then they shoukd be charged as an adult, But i dount think if they were mentaly insane then the should go to a mental hospital. Also if they were just doing drugs then charge them like any other. So thats what I think.
28. I think that teens or children should be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced like and adult for adult like crimes because the kid mit have be bullyed by otherkids or faimly members so they get the feeling that they need to stop the bulling by stoping there live. The age for teens or childeren should be convicted as and adult for doing an adult crime is at age 14 because they can take care of them self so the can do thing like kill people they feel like killing.If I or someone in my family was convicted for and crime that they did would change my opinin of age and that they should not be convicted as adult for an adult crime.Teens or childeren that was covicted as a juvenile and they did an adult like crime should wait till the hit the age to be convicted as an adult like crime.
# 20 My opinion is that teenagers should be tried as adults, when doing an adult crime. If they thought they were big enough to do the crime, then they should be big enough to take the concequence given. People should think about the outcome before they do anything. But that's the problem, no one does. Trying a teenager as an adult or just thretening them would scare them.
#22 to #20 I absolutely agree with what you say. If you are old enough to know what you're doing at that moment then you should be tried for as old as how you are acting as.
16. How I feel about teens and children being prosecuuted and convicted for adult-like crimes is pretty high because they need to learn a lesson for doing it.The reason why I say that is because the people need to know that they did something wrong and they cant just get away with it because then people think that they did nothing wrong because they were not caught.The crimes that should warrant adult warrents are murder and rape.The minimum age should be seven-teen because they knew that it was wrong.My opinion would still be the same because I would that it was wrong.. What should be done to the juveniles that commit those crimes need to learn a lesson a they need to learn it they hard way. Thats what I think should happen to them.
05.To number three I think that you are right that if you are areound twelve and convcted of murdur but you shouldnt be punished as much as an adult but it would still be a bit harsh.
10. I dont think that children should be prosectued, convicted, sentenced 'ect.' to audult crimes because children are too young to understand and are young enough that if they are able to understand, they deserve to have a second. I beleive that serious crimes, for instance murder, should be consequienced as an adult.Others like stealing shoud not be reacted as an adult punishment. The minimum age should be 12 since 12 and up are usually when children are considered more responsible. Their would not be any change of opinion if i had a close friend convicted at a young age. The punishment i think should be time spent in prison.
Number 3 i agree that if the crime is along the lines of Death, Or sexual abuse. The suspect should be tried as an adult no matter the age. Of course a child of 7 years is a different story the general overview is there.
19. I agree wih you 3. If someone close to me were to have commited a crime I wouldn't want them to be tried as an adult, but i do think that if they're old enough to understand what they did, they should be old enough to understand the consequences it comes with.
16-20 I agree with you because the kids think that thya are big and bad and they can do anything they want and they do need to learn that it is not true.
9 to 19- I agree with you except for one thing, i believe that if the crime is serious and drastic enough even if they are only 13 or 14 i think they should stay in there as long as the court decides and when there 18 move them to a adult prison
19. I agree with you 25. Children and teens shouldn't be set to jail or prison, but i think if they commited a crime such as murder they shouldn't just have to go to juvinile detention center. They should go to a place worse than that.
11. Teens should not be prosecuted, convicted and sentenced like adualts because there is a possibility that they do things the way they were taught to therefore they think that it was right, or at least not wrong. Although there are some crimes that should warrant adult sentences, not everything should though. Crimes like murder and rape should warrant adult sentences, but attemptive murder, stealing, and being illegally armed should not, because it is only a threat and nothing was done. The minimum age to bo tried with as an adult should be 16. I say 16 because you know what you're capable of by that age and know how to control yourself. I don't know if I would feel differently if someone that I know that is underaged was accused of a crime. because it depends on the person and how they think.. I don't know if my opnion would be different if someone i know was a victim of a crime of a juvenile because I would want to know the reasoning behind it before I say something about it. Juveniles that commit 'adult' crimes should be held in a juvenile detention center because it shows them that what they did was wrong, but still keeps them safe; because they are still a child and they are still volenrable.
21 I think teenagers should be tried as adults becuase if the children dont get punished they wont learn.If they dont learn the will think its ok. Then everyone thinks its ok and its all bad from there.But some cases that are not as bad as murder, like breaking a window shouldnt be counted as an adult charge. Some teenagers need help staying on the right path but only some should be charged as adults.

learn.
