Question

Do you think juveniles who commit serious crimes should there be a juvenile justice system

Answer 1

Yes, I believe that juveniles who commit serious crimes should be subject to a juvenile justice system. The purpose of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate and help young offenders become law-abiding citizens. Treating juveniles differently than adults recognizes that their brains are still developing and that they are more capable of change and rehabilitation. Having a separate system for juveniles also takes into consideration the unique needs and vulnerabilities of young offenders.
